Abstract:
The authors give an account of the historical development of neurological intensive care and its current status in China and put forward the view that establishment of neurological intensive care units can improve the level of neurological departments in delivering emergency treatments and give impetus to the improvement of expertise in diagnosing and treating acute neurological diseases. It will also play a key role in clinically conducting encephalic resuscitation and hibernation therapy, finely monitoring changes of intracranial physiologic indexes by electro physiological methods, further clarifying organ failure resulting from cerebral and neural failure, and promoting the study of nerve grafting and regeneration. Neurological intensive care units can serve as both the teaching base for training professional staff and the research base for advancing neurological emergency medicine.
