This pocket handbook (4.25x7") will be useful for medical students and clinicians working in the emergency department, stroke unit, neurological critical care unit, or pre-rehabilitation setting. This second edition reflects the evolution of stroke treatment since 2007. Early chapters cover stroke in the emergency department and what to do first. Chapters on different types of stroke offer information on etiology, presentation, differential diagnosis, management, and prognosis, in outline format. Other areas covered include stroke prevention and the organization of stroke units, centers, and teams. About 75 pages of appendices provide calculations, dosing charts, treatment protocols, and neurological scales, plus background on stroke radiology and a refresher on neurovascular anatomy. The book includes two-color illustrations, b&w diagnostic images, and numerous tables. Uchino is a vascular neurologist at the Cerebrovascular Center, Cleveland Clinic Foundation.
