Neurocritical Care, 2nd Edition, is a clinical casebook published by Oxford University Press as part of the "What Do I Do Now?" series. It presents practical guidance on acute interventions for emergent neurological conditions.
The volume addresses central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous system dysfunction encountered in intensive care units. It explores core daily responsibilities, including managing deteriorating patients, treating complications, and assisting families with difficult end-of-life decisions.
Featuring more than 40 clinical cases that begin with brief patient presentations, the text functions as both an instructional case collection and an emergency self-assessment tool for clinicians.
