Created by neurosurgeons, for neurosurgeons, the Neurosurgery Survival Guide App (NSG) is a quick reference, high-yield guide that encompasses key knowledge and information needed when caring for neurosurgery patients.
With hundreds of unique topics, content is kept up to date with the latest in practice recommendations. The NSG app includes the complete neurologic exam, including rapid reference to many protocols, a “what-to-do” guide when encountering many of the common neurosurgical conditions, essential aspects of neurocritical care, common neurosurgical procedures, a pediatric section, and trauma.
A learning section includes high-yield neuroanatomy, cavernous sinus anatomy, spinal cord, functional neurosurgery, and neuroimaging. The guide also includes dozens of updated graphics and professional illustrations.
This is the ideal reference for all neurosurgical residents, interns, and medical students. It’s also highly relevant for all mid-level practitioners who will encounter and care for neurosurgical patients such as nurse practitioners, physician assistants, neurosurgery nurses, and those working in neuro-intensive care units.
This is the definitive rapid reference guide—a “must have” on your neurosurgery rotation!
