Patients in the neurointensive care unit pose many clinical challenges for the attending physician. Even experienced clinicians occasionally arrive at the point where diagnostic, work-up, treatment, or prognostic thinking becomes blocked. Neurocritical Care is the next volume in the “What Do I Do Now? ” series and provides the clinician with specific focus and insight on interventions in acute neurologic disorders.
