Neurocritical Care Outcomes, Research, and Technology A Review

Congratulations to Dr. Katharina Busl on the publication of “Neurocritical Care Outcomes, Research, and Technology A Review,” in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Abstract

Importance  Neurocritical care has grown into an organized specialty that may have consequences for patient care, outcomes, research, and neurointensive care (neuroICU) technology.

Observations  Neurocritical care improves care and outcomes of the patients who are neurocritically ill, and neuroICUs positively affect the financial state of health care systems. The development of neurocritical care as a recognized subspecialty has fostered multidisciplinary research, neuromonitoring, and neurocritical care information technology, with advances and innovations in practice and progress.

Conclusions and Relevance  Neurocritical care has become an important part of health systems and an established subspecialty of neurology. Understanding its structure, scope of practice, consequences for care, and research are important.
