Autor Andrew Micieli, Raed Joundi, Houman Khosravani, Julia Hopyan, David J. Gladstone
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 iul 2020
A 65-year-old patient arrives at the Emergency Department with stroke symptoms that began 45 minutes ago. You are called STAT!Acute stroke management has changed dramatically in recent years. Tremendous advances have been made in acute treatments, diagnostic neuroimaging, and organized systems of care, and are enabling better outcomes for patients. Stroke has evolved from a largely untreatable condition in the acute phase to a true medical emergency that is potentially treatable—and sometimes curable. The Code Stroke emergency response refers to a coordinated team-based approach to stroke patient care that requires rapid and accurate assessment, diagnosis, and treatment in an effort to save the brain and minimize permanent damage.The Code Stroke Handbook contains the "essentials" of acute stroke to help clinicians provide best practice patient care. Designed to assist frontline physicians, nurses, paramedics, and medical learners at different levels of training, this book highlights clinical pearls and pitfalls, guideline recommendations, and other high-yield information not readily available in standard textbooks. It is filled with practical tips to prepare you for the next stroke emergency and reduce the anxiety you may feel when the Code Stroke pager rings.

  • An easy-to-read, practical, clinical resource spread over 12 chapters covering the basics of code stroke consultations: history-taking, stroke mimics, neurological examination, acute stroke imaging (non-contrast CT/CT angiography/CT perfusion), and treatment (thrombolysis and endovascular therapy)
  • Includes clinical pearls and pitfalls, neuroanatomy diagrams, and stroke syndromes, presented in an easily digestible format and book size that is convenient to carry around for quick reference when on-call at the hospital
  • Provides foundational knowledge for medical students and residents before starting your neurology, emergency medicine, or internal medicine rotations

Recenzii

"This is a great introductory handbook detailing acute stroke care for those not as familiar with neurology or stroke, or for those who are not up to date with the most recent evidence. The numerous tables and figures summarize the information efficiently and make it a handy reference, yet its size and portability make it convenient to store in a white coat pocket. Given that stroke care is evolving rapidly, the references to tenecteplase, extended time windows, and CT perfusion help in keeping these practitioners aware of the latest guidelines. The book is especially valuable to those in the emergency room, internal medicine trainees, and medical students starting their neurology rotations. It is a worthwhile purchase for these non-neurologists and, given its accessibility and conciseness, it can be easily read quickly." --Doody
