Traumatic brain injury / Etrusca Brogi, Federico Coccolini, Eric J. Ley, Alex Valadka, editors.
In spite of great improvements in prehospital, critical care, and surgical management, traumatic brain injury is still a leading cause of death and disability resulting in great socioeconomic burden. This book provides a comprehensive and practical perspective of the management of traumatic brain in...
