This revised and expanded second edition discusses the assessment and treatment of patients recovering from coma and disorders of consciousness. Besides diagnostic, prognostic and ethical issues, this book describes well-established techniques and procedures, and also techniques under development. New chapters include consciousness theories, issues relating to long-term care, and neuromodulation treatments.
Coma and Disorders of Consciousness, Second Edition is a comprehensive review of the field for clinicians and researchers, regardless of whether they are already familiar with the difficult but exciting field of disorders of consciousness.
“The aim is to provide information about the comatose condition, such as prognostic factors, treatment modalities, and social issues involved in caring for those with consciousness disorders. The book meets these objectives by addressing questions that remain to be answered regarding comatose patients. … the book is most appropriate for senior level researchers and physicians.” (Diana L. Tzeng, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2018)
