Neurointensive Care Unit (NICU)

A Neurointensive Care Unit (NICU) is a specialized hospital unit dedicated to caring for patients with serious neurological conditions, such as severe brain injuries, strokes, or brain or spinal cord surgeries. It features advanced monitoring and life-support equipment, and is staffed by specialists like neurologists and neurosurgeons. The NICU provides continuous assessment, precise management of critical issues, and tailored treatments to help protect and recover brain and nerve function, aiming to stabilize patients and improve their outcomes during the most vulnerable phase of their illness or injury.
