"This unique work is provided by an experienced author in the field of neurological critical care. ... Practitioners of all levels of experience will find this book extremely helpful." Weighted Numerical Score: 100 - 5 Stars! --Doody's Health Sciences Book Review
"...inexperienced and experienced ICU care providers alike will benefit from reading Wijdicks' well-targeted book." --Critical Care Medicine

Prognostication of acute neurologic disease is a major task for neurohospitalists and neurointensivists. The family conference raises the delicate matter of how to decide that outcome is indefinitely poor and how to define disability. This monograph is the first book on how to communicate prognosis in acute neurologic conditions. Communicating Prognosis includes useful data on prognosis in all major neurologic conditions and provides practical advice on how to effectively lead such a conference and how to resolve potential conflicts. This book provides straightforward common sense on-the-spot advice and touches on all aspects of support of devastated families.
