Neurosurgical Intensive Care

Neurosurgical Intensive Care, 2nd Edition, is a practical handbook by Javed Siddiqi that addresses the multidisciplinary treatment of critically ill neurosurgical patients. Published in 2017 by Thieme Medical Publishers, the text reflects an evolving clinical focus on cerebral protection strategies alongside pulmonary management when the blood-brain barrier is disrupted.

The volume provides structured summaries across successive phases of patient care. Clinical discussions cover bedside evaluations, monitoring methods, neuropharmacology, and specific interventions for acute conditions such as ischemic stroke and spinal cord injury. Coverage also encompasses discharge planning and communication with families.

Featuring 159 tables and figures, the handbook serves as a reference for nurses, medical students, resident physicians, fellows, and attending clinicians working in neurocritical care.
