Descrizione Coma and vegetative state. Con CD-ROM
This book, written by eminent clinicians, provides one approach by a very experienced unit to the questions that are raised by families. The emphasis is on the early phase following the brain damage when there are very complex problems of the emergency treatment, the high level of medical input whilst the patient is still in the intensive unit along with mental incapacity and lack of awareness. Inevitably other units in different countries may have a different emphasis based on cultural differences and approaches to profound disability – especially where the brain damaged person has moved into the disability management programme. However, this book provides a considerable wisdom, based on long experience and should go a very long way to helping relatives understand the process and answer some of the questions they would like to ask but don’t, especially in the early days following the onset of the brain damage.
