Essentials of Evidence-Based Practice of Neuroanesthesia and Neurocritical Care

Editat de Hemanshu Prabhakar
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 noi 2021
The current practice of medicine is largely moving toward applying an evidence-based approach. Evidence-based medicine is the integration of best research evidence using systematic reviews of the medical literature and then translating it into practice by selecting treatment options for specific cases based on the best research. Clinicians rely on the availability of evidence and accordingly take decisions to provide best treatment to their patients. Clinical management of neurologically compromised patients is challenging and varied; for this reason, treating physicians including neuroanesthesiologists are always in search of best available evidence for patient management and care.

Essentials of Evidence-Based Practice of Neuroanesthesia and Neurocritical Care highlights the various controversies that exist in the practice of neuroanesthesia and provides conclusive evidence-based solutions. This comprehensive resource succinctly discusses evidence-based practice of neuroanesthesia based on systematic reviews in clinical neuroscience research. Topics include neurophysiology: ICP or CPP thresholds; neuropharmacology: intravenous or inhalational anesthetics; and neuromonitoring: ICP monitoring. Evidence-based practice is now an integral part of neuroscience, and this book will help residents and trainees gain knowledge to apply it to their practice.
Endorsements/Reviews:
"Evidence based practice is facilitating changes at a rapid pace in neuroanesthesia and neurocritical care practice. Its practice is exceedingly crucial in neuroanesthesia and neurocritical care considering the criticality of the neurologically sick patients, which leaves little or no room for error for an acceptable outcome in them. Patient management in Neuroanesthesia and neurocritical care has many contentious issues because of rapidly evolving changes in their management which require treatment guided by the latest available evidence in literature. Dr. Hemanshu Prabhakar is a strong proponent of evidence based practice for the management of neurologically ill patients both for surgical procedures and their management in neurointensive care unit. Undoubtedly, this book will be of enormous benefits to the students as well as teachers of neuroanesthesia and neurocritical care sub-specialties." -- Parmod Bithal, Editor-In-Chief, Journal of Neuroanaesthesiology and Critical Care (JNACC)

Recenzii

"This book is a great addition to the clinical decision making in neuroanesthesiology and neurocritical care, as evidence-based practice continues to reveal its importance in clinical scenarios. This book provides up-to-date evidence in a concise manner, with the help of comparison charts, algorithms, and consensus guidelines, which otherwise would require large amounts of time to cover in the vast literature. This book is unique as it is geared toward answering specific, hard clinical management questions with the most up-to-date evidence for the question or controversy at hand. In a few specific chapters, it is unable to give a strong consensus recommendation due to the lack of evidence currently available, but still presents sources of evidence for clinicians to individualize care for their patients. It does not provide textbook-type chapters that cover the whole management of a specific pathology, which makes it a great resource for advanced residents or practicing clinicians as it does require some basic knowledge to maximize its value. The book Problem Based Learning Discussions in Neuroanesthesia and Neurocritical Care, Prabhakar et al. (Springer, 2020), which shares multiple authors with this book including the editor, might be a more comprehensive and excellent addition to this book." --© Doody’s Review Service, 2021, Andres R Brenes Bastos, MD, reviewer, expert opinion
