Neurosurgical Resources

Updated Mar 30, 2004 at 11:04 PM by gwenith

Hi I have just taken on the moderation for this forum - I have spent a number of years (more than I like to admit to ) working and teaching in general Intensive Care units as well as working for some time in a dedicated Neurosurgical Intensive Care. I have a certificate in Neurosurgical Nursing.

One of the things I like to set up for the forums is a thread listing online and general resources. I am starting this thread today. Please feel free to add any resources to the thread including any good readings and texts that you have come across.

Originally written as a patient handout leaflet this little beauty has some very nice explanations of skull fractures

http://www.nevdgp.org.au/neurosurger...SS/SKFRDIS.pdf

This site has some very nice CT pictures and x-rays along with explanations so is worth a look

http://www.thamburaj.com/skull_fractures.htm

Here is the site for the Adelaide Children's hospital Neurosurgical resource

http://www.health.adelaide.edu.au/paed-neuro/index.htm

This site has some pretty gruesome real-life pictures of brain injuries but is well worth visiting - just do it before you eat

http://www.portfolio.mvm.ed.ac.uk/st...oup62/head.htm

How could I have missed this site - it is the University of Glasgow

http://www.gla.ac.uk/departments/sur...trics/head.htm

A nice outline of problems associated with naso-orbital fractures

http://www.baoms.org.uk/ce/ce_noe.html

I haven't read all of this but it looks good - a discussion paper on head injury and acceleration

http://www.nocsae.org/nocsae/LIBRARY...elerations.htm

CT library

http://www.netmedicine.com/xray/ctscan/ct.htm

Tutorial on reading CT's

http://www.radiology.co.uk/srs-x/tut...auma/tutor.htm

another radiology site

gwenith,
Our facility (OR) is looking at changing from stealth to brainlab for our guided imagery. Do you know any sites or info on the comparison of the two?
Thanks for the listings of the other sites!
