Plum and Posner's Diagnosis and Treatment of Stupor and Coma

Zusatztext This new edition provides a comprehensive update of a classic and essential text. It preserves the best elements of the original - the succinct formulation of the pathophysiology of coma, the approach to examining a comatose patient - but brings the book solidly into the 21st Century with inclusion of modern technologies and methods. The expanded discussion of the treatment of comatose patients is most welcome, delivering a wealth of information in a concise format.This remains a remarkable book: at once both comprehensive and accessible, equally suitable for extended study and as a quick bedside reference. It deserves a place in the library of every practicing neurologist. Informationen zum Autor Jerome B.

Klappentext
Plum and Posner's Diagnosis and Treatment of Stupor and Coma, 5th edition provides a comprehensive overview of the theory behind regulation of consciousness in humans, the mechanisms of loss of consciousness clinically, and the examination and diagnosis of the cause of loss of consciousness in patients. New sections provide the latest information on the treatment of comatose patients, brain death, recovery from structural coma, and the ethics of dealing with comatose patients.

Zusammenfassung
Plum and Posner's Diagnosis and Treatment of Stupor and Coma, 5th edition, is a major update of the classic work on diagnosing the cause of coma, with the addition of completely new sections on treatment of comatose patients, by Dr. Jan Claassen, the Director of the Neuro-ICU at Columbia New York Presbyterian Hospital. The first chapter of the book provides an up-to-date review on the brain mechanisms that maintain a conscious state in humans, and how lesions that damage these mechanisms cause loss of consciousness or coma. The second chapter reviews the neurological examination of the comatose patient, which provides the basis for determining whether the patient is suffering from a structural brain injury causing the coma, or from a metabolic disorder of consciousness. The third and fourth chapters review the pathophysiology…
