The Comatose Patient Summary

The Comatose Patient by Eelco F.M. Wijdicks (MD, PhD, FACP, Professor of Neurology Mayo Clinic College of Medicine Chair, Division of Critical Care Neurology Consultant, Neurosciences Intensive Care Unit Saint Marys Hospital Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN)

The Comatose Patient, Second Edition, is a critical historical overview of the concepts of consciousness and unconsciousness, covering all aspects of coma within 100 detailed case vignettes. This comprehensive text includes principles of neurologic examination of comatose patients as well as instruction of the FOUR Score coma scale, and also discusses landmark legal cases and ethical problems. As the Chair of Division of Critical Care Neurology at Mayo Clinic, Dr. Wijdicks uses his extensive knowledge to discuss a new practical multistep approach to the diagnosis of the comatose patient. Additionally, this edition includes extensive coverage of the interpretation of neuroimaging and its role in daily practice and decision making, as well as management in the emergency room and ICU. Dr. Wijdicks details long-term supportive care and an appropriate approach to communication with family members about end-of-life decision making.
