Prolonged disorder of consciousness: giving a second opinion on the best interests of a person.
Patients with a prolonged disorder of consciousness have a neurological disorder. Few neurologists undertake assessment and management after the acute phase of the person's illness, even though some of their patients with progressive neurological disorders become persistently unconscious. Their clinical evaluation and deciding on their best interests require full use of a neurologist's expertise, which is intellectually, emotionally and clinically challenging. I will cover essential aspects of giving such an expert second opinion based on at least 200 cases where I have done so (and over 500 patients seen clinically).
期刊介绍:
The essential point of Practical Neurology is that it is practical in the sense of being useful for everyone who sees neurological patients and who wants to keep up to date, and safe, in managing them. In other words this is a journal for jobbing neurologists - which most of us are for at least part of our time - who plough through the tension headaches and funny turns week in and week out. Primary research literature potentially relevant to routine clinical practice is far too much for any neurologist to read, let alone understand, critically appraise and assimilate. Therefore, if research is to influence clinical practice appropriately and quickly it has to be digested and provided to neurologists in an informative and convenient way.
