"...a compact and comprehensive guide to best evidence-based practices in neurosurgery-specific interprofessional nursing care. It covers essential topics such as preoperative assessment, bedside management, common neurosurgical procedures, and the pathophysiology of the brain and spine. It also addresses related medical issues including diabetes, acute kidney injury, and cardiovascular conditions, along with approaches to pain management, substance use, and rehabilitation. This interprofessional, evidence-based book offers a comprehensive resource for neurosurgical nursing care.... A textbook like this one focused on the nursing management of neurosurgical patients is critical for nurses working in a range of settings, including neurosurgery wards, intensive care units (ICUs), and other healthcare environments where neurosurgical patients are treated. I recommend this book for nurses in any of these settings, nursing students, and instructors that need a comprehensive yet accessible resource for teaching nursing students about neurosurgical patient management."
