Reviews
From the reviews of the second edition:
“This second edition of a nursing guide to caring for pediatric neurosurgical patients provides up-to-date, evidence-based information on the treatment and management of common neurosurgical conditions. … This was developed as a resource for all nurses who care for pediatric neurosurgical patients. Other healthcare professionals also may find it beneficial in providing a summary of key points of each disease process and an overview of treatment strategies. … It is a must-have resource for any pediatric neurosurgical practice.” (Elizabeth Haley Vance, Doody’s Book Reviews, December, 2013)
