Neuroprotection in Critical Care and Perioperative Medicine

Neuroprotection is becoming an increasingly important and recognized part of critical care and perioperative medicine. It has become clear that neurologic injury and dysfunction are primary drivers of long-term outcome and disability, which is why neuroprotection is currently under-recognized as the primary objective in promoting recovery from life-threatening injuries, illnesses, and procedures.

To address this knowledge gap, Oxford University Press has released an incredibly informative book called Neuroprotection in Critical Care and Perioperative Medicine. The book is authored by some of the world’s leading physicians, with extensive experience in critical care and perioperative medicine, each bringing their own unique perspective to the topic.

With 408 pages of in-depth information and a concise review of the current state of the art of clinical care and research, readers will get a comprehensive overview of the latest findings and best practices in neuroprotection. The book covers a wide range of topics, including traumatic brain injury, cardiac arrest, acute ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, sepsis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, mechanical circulatory support, and premature birth.

Within the context of perioperative care, the specific topics covered include anesthetic and perioperative strategies to reduce brain injury from cardiac surgery, aortic surgery and endovascular repair, carotid endarterectomy, vascular and endovascular neurosurgery, and other major surgical procedures.

The authors have done an excellent job of compiling a vast array of data in a way that is easy for readers to understand. With each chapter, they provide a detailed overview of the condition or injury being discussed, followed by a review of the current understanding of the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment. They then provide readers with the latest evidence-based findings that support different treatment modalities.

One of the standout features of this book is the way it encourages a multidisciplinary approach to the care of critically ill patients. The authors emphasize the importance of communication and collaboration between the various medical specialties involved in the management of these patients for optimal outcomes. By bringing together neurologists, neurosurgeons, anesthesiologists, critical care physicians, and other specialists in the field, they provide readers with a holistic approach to neuroprotection that is often lacking in other texts.

Despite its highly technical subject matter, the book is written in a way that is accessible to readers at all levels of expertise. Even those without a medical background will find the explanations clear and straightforward, making this an excellent resource for medical students, residents, and fellows as well as seasoned practitioners.
