Neurological Critical Care

Diseases and conditions

• Brain Stroke: It is a medical emergency characterized by a reduced or complete blockage of blood flow to the brain. It is of two types, i.e., ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke.
• Neuromuscular disorders: The nervous system controls the functioning of muscles in the body. Patients with neuromuscular disorders experience muscular dysfunction due to the disease of the nerves. A common symptom of neuromuscular disorders is muscle weakness.
• Seizures: A seizure occurs when there is excessive and uncontrolled electrical activity in the brain. Patients with seizures have alterations in their movements, feelings, or behavior. The level of consciousness is also changed during a seizure attack.
• Nervous system infections: Nervous system infections require unique treatment strategies due to inherent difficulties, such as the high risk of complications, the blood-brain barrier, and the high rate of mortality. The infections generally include encephalitis, meningitis, and brain abscesses
• Head Injuries: Head injuries include scalp, skull, or brain injuries. The complexity of head injuries may range from a mild bruise to a more severe traumatic brain injury. The causes of head injuries include physical assaults, vehicle accidents, falls, and sports-related accidents.
• Neurological Post-Operative care: Post-operative care after a neurological surgery is of vital importance to improve the outcomes of the surgery. Neurosurgical post-operative care includes airway management, fluid management, nutrition, analgesia, hemodynamics maintenance, and disease-related complications prevention.

Procedures and treatment

• Thrombolysis: Thrombolysis is the process of dissolving the clots and preventing the formation of new clots through medications. Intravenous thrombolysis is an effective treatment in the management of acute ischemic stroke.
• Cerebral Protection: Cerebral protection involves preventing damage to neuronal tissues. Damage to these tissues results in loss of consciousness, speech, emotional integrity, and intellectual capacity. Strategies for cerebral protection depend upon the pathophysiological processes damaging the brain.
• Coma Management: The treatment of a coma depends upon the underlying cause. In cases of brain swelling, the doctor may relieve the pressure on the brain.The patients may also receive antibiotics and glucose through the intravenous route. Emergency centers may also offer breathing assistance and supportive therapy.
• Continuous EEG: Continuous EEG is a method to continuously determine brain activity. It constantly assesses the cerebral cortical activity in critically ill, comatose patients.
• Management of CNS Infections: Management of bacterial and fungal infections includes antibiotics for infection, intravenous fluids for fluid management and nutrition, steroids for swelling in the brain, and anticonvulsants for seizures. Many viral infections of the nervous system resolve without any treatment; however, the patients may require supportive therapy.
