Series: Core Principles of Acute Neurology

Core Principles of Acute Neurology is a series of short volumes that handles major topics not found in sufficient detail elsewhere and provides useful context. Identifying Neuroemergencies provides practical information on how to best manage and triage patients in the first hour of admission in the Emergency Department. Physicians consider a neurologic emergency when the patient has clearly worsened and their neurologic signs have changed. Correct decisions are imperative: any type of neurocritical illness demands immediate treatment in the emergency department. Neurologist can assist further with the successful triage of the neurologic emergency and this volume in the Core Principles of Acute Neurology will serve as a handy, concise, reference to both the neurologist and the emergency physician.

Reviews for Identifying Neuroemergencies

The greatest strength of this book is that it gives a true emergency medicine perspective to providers who are not emergency medicine physicians. At the same time, it is a useful summary of neurological emergencies for any provider caring for these patients in the emergency department. * Michael D.
