Emerging as a new sub-specialization within the hospitalist community, the neurosurgery hospitalist provides preoperative risk stratification, advises on managing pre- and postoperative complications, and helps doctors make decisions about when to involve specialists other than neurosurgeons.

This collaborative approach to the neurosurgery patient has been shown to offer effective care since hospitalists can be better attuned than specialists to multiple medical problems that most patients have.

Medical Management of Neurosurgical Patients is a first of its kind textbook providing a standardized source of information for neurosurgery hospitalists in order to establish a common ground and improve their knowledge and training.

The work will focus on management of CNS infections, management of bleeding in the context of CNS surgery (a potentially catastrophic complication), management of sodium and blood glucose levels including steroid-induced hyperglycemia, perioperative pain control, and management of pressure injuries and rehabilitation in the context of CNS injury.

Reviews for Medical Management of Neurosurgical Patients

"""This short book is a concise overview of medical problems and possible surgical complications to consider when taking care of neurosurgical patients, a unique population that requires comprehensive care that extends beyond just the nervous system. ... This book provides a solid foundation for junior level residents and midlevel providers to build upon as they become more experienced in their care of neurosurgical patients in the critical care and ward settings."" -- Sophia Peng, Doody's"
