Neurocritical Care

What is Neurocritical Care ?

Also known as neurointensive care is the field that deals with life-threatening diseases of the brain and nervous system. Specialized Intensive care Units called the Neurocritical Intensive Care Units exist where neuro intensivists equipped with the knowledge of neurology, surgery, anesthesia, pediatric care, emergency medicine, and neurosurgery work in tandem to save a patient’s life and prevent secondary brain infections. They analyze imaging techniques and perform intracranial diagnoses. Patients suffering from stroke, traumatic brain injury, cerebral aneurysms, and more are treated in these units. Performing craniotomies, tumor resections, cerebral aneurysm repairs are some of the procedures done using intracranial invasive brain monitoring.

  • Hemodialysis is a treatment to filter wastes and water from your blood, as your kidneys.
  • Did when they were healthy. Hemodialysis helps control blood pressure and balance.
  • Important minerals, such as potassium, sodium, and calcium, in your blood.
  • Hemodialysis can help you feel better and live longer, but it’s not a cure for kidney failure.
  • You may be able to do hemodialysis at home. Normally, hemodialysis begins well before your kidneys have shut down to the point of causing life-threatening complications.

What happens in Neuro - ICU?

  • Multidisciplinary treatment protocol is followed. Treatments are usually done under general anesthesia
  • Patient’s vitals are checked, imaging reports like electroencephalograms are assessed, brain monitoring devices are inserted into the organ, and treatment is carried on.
  • Based on the condition, different types of treatments exist including resection of pathologies, correction of anatomical defects, hemorrhage, trauma care, and/or emergency life-support.
  • After surgical procedures are completed, the patient is kept under observation in the Neuro - ICUs where manual administration of medication and regular vitals checking is done by the staff.
  • Pediatric Neuro ICUs for children suffering from said conditions exist where the child will be kept on additional support. Once vitals are deemed stable and the condition normal by the professionals, the patient will be discharged.

Autonomic disorders are disorders of the nervous system that occur due to damage to the nerves of the autonomic nervous system. The autonomous nervous system is the part of the nervous system that controls the heart rate, digestion, sensation, body temperature, and breathing rate of a person. Autonomic dysfunction causes mild to moderate symptoms including dizziness, fatigue, sweat abnormality, digestion abnormality, urinary problems, vision problems, irregular heartbeat, and more.

Neuromuscular Medicine

It is a branch of neurology and physical medicine that includes treatment and rehabilitation of diseases affecting the motor nerve response, nerve roots, peripheral nerves, and neuromuscular junction. These diseases caused decreased muscle tone and functionality due to improper nerve response. These diseases can manifest both in adults and children and will cause muscle atrophy, weakness, trouble walking, improper balance, facial muscle loss, and progressive memory loss.
