About the Book

This book reviews the treatments and rehabilitation of patients with central nervous system injury. It addresses the role and responsibilities of all health professionals involved in these difficult cases. The Second Houston Conference on Neurotrauma, from which this volume emanates, was designed to bring together experts from diverse backgrounds to discuss, criticize and improve the management of neurologically injured patients. This conference was to enlarge the spectrum of discussion to include those critically important patients who have both brain and spinal cord injuries. Information regarding acute care treatment and investigation of brain injury are emphasized right along with rehabilitation strategies and approaches.
