Intracranial Pressure and Neuromonitoring in Brain Injury, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1998 Proceedings of the Tenth International ICP Symposium, Williamsburg, Virginia, May 25–29, 1997 Acta Neurochirurgica Supplement Series, Vol. 71

This volume contains the most recent works on intracranial pressure and neuromonitoring in brain injury selected from 300 abstracts submitted to the 10th International Symposium on Intracranial Pressure. It includes state of the art monitoring of the brain injured patient in intensive care as well as the current state of knowledge in neurochemical and oxygen monitoring of the injured brain. Recent advances in molecular mechanisms of injury and the pathophysiology of ischemia and trauma are also included. "... this publication presents a comprehensive survey of the present state of art in the field and thus gives directions for further research to those engaged in ICP measurement and neuromonitoring?.
