5 Our Neighbors UW Seattle, Harborview: Neuro ICU, 15+ beds. Neurosurgery, neurology, and Neuro trauma patients. ICU managed by Anesthesiology with Neurosurgery and Neurology consulting teams. UCSF & SF General Hospital: UCNS accredited Fellowship. Neuro ICU with 20 beds, Neurology patients only. Additional 13 bed step down unit. Intensivists with background in Pulmo CCM, Anesthesiology and Neurology; Neuro CC Team also sees also neurosurgery patients on campus

6 Neurocritical Care at OHSU Until 2005: Neurosurgery patients: Neurosurgical ICU (part of 7A) Neurology patients: Medical ICU (now on 12K) Jan 2006: Inauguration of dedicated Neurocritical Care Service; consults on neurosurgical patients (7 12 pat.; 7A Unit) Oct 2006: Dedicated space = Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit; 7NSICU); admission of neurosurgical and neurology patients; Team expansion (residents, fellows, PAs); 24/7 in house coverage

8 Neuroscience ICU WHY A SPECIALIZED ICU SERVICE?

9 The availability of dedicated intensivist teams improves patient outcomes and medical training, and reduces expenses Neurointensivists require all skills expected of general intensivists + special skills as a clinical neuroscientist; + management of multi professional team, resources, infectious control, budget oversight and regulation, etc. ) => Comprehensive, yet specialized critical care

10 Evidence Specially trained Neurointensivists indeed are important for patients suffering from nervous system disorders and who are critically ill: Mirski M et al: Outcome + cost after ICH improved after introduction of NeuroICU (JNA 13:83 92, 2001)
