The Practice of Emergency and Critical Care Neurology

When one is confronted with an acute major neurologic problem, this book of moderate size may not be always immediately available ( or has been borrowed by someone). This pocket size booklet compiles a selection of tables and figures mainly chosen to facilitate emergency care of critically ill neurologic patients. This small booklet should cover all the essential points and hopefully is also a survival guide for the house staff .It may even let them shine. It includes several blank pages for note taking. It allows finding topics in a hurry, but this pocket book is not a substitute for study of the larger text and the tables cannot be fully appreciated without prior reading of this textbook
