Basic Neurological Life Support, BOOK plus CDROM

Basic Neurological Life Support is an easy-to-use document that covers all of the major neurologic emergencies. The text provides examples of their typical presentations and pathogenesis. In addition, it examines the characteristic patient histories with the currently recognised and approved treatment of the condition. Each condition is accompanied by a brief bibliography.

Neurologic disease has long been considered arcane, difficult to diagnose and untreatable. Every one of the conditions highlighted in Basic Neurological Life Support is neurological and eminently treatable. This text is presented in association with the Association of University Professors of Neurology.
