Code Stroke Handbook
"This is a great introductory handbook detailing acute stroke care for those not as familiar with neurology or stroke, or for those who are not up to date with the most recent evidence. The numerous tables and figures summarize the information efficiently and make it a handy reference, yet its size and portability make it convenient to store in a white coat pocket. Given that stroke care is evolving rapidly, the references to tenecteplase, extended time windows, and CT perfusion help in keeping these practitioners aware of the latest guidelines. The book is especially valuable to those in the emergency room, internal medicine trainees, and medical students starting their neurology rotations. It is a worthwhile purchase for these non-neurologists and, given its accessibility and conciseness, it can be easily read quickly." --Doody
