520 _aNeurotrauma refers to an injury to the brain or the spinal cord. It includes the degeneration or destruction of brain cells that often leads to serious medical conditions such as paralysis, brain damage and death. The symptoms of neurotrauma vary, based on the severity of the brain injury. Mild brain injury often causes headaches, confusion, fatigue and tinnitus. Moderate and severe brain injuries include symptoms such as slurred speech, coma, nausea, convulsions and abnormal dilation of the eyes. The medical field which provides critical care in life threatening conditions related to the nervous system is known as neurocritical care or neurointensive care. Some of the procedures which are used in neurocritical care are hypothermia, intracranial pressure management and basic life support monitoring. This book presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. It provides comprehensive insights into neurotrauma and critical care of the brain. This book will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and post graduate students.
