Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit

The Pulmonary and Critical Care Section has recently taken on the task of providing state-of-the-art critical care to patients in the Neurosciences Intensive Care Unit on 6-2 of Y-NHH. Patients are admitted to the unit with a wide range of Neurosurgical and Neurological diagnoses, including intracranial bleeds, head trauma, acute stroke, refractory seizures, and Guillain-Barre Syndrome. Advanced care including continuous intracranial monitoring is available routinely as is support from outstanding Neuroradiologists at Yale. Multidisciplinary rounds occur each morning with members of the Neurosurgical and Neurology teams. The Pulmonary & Critical Care team consists of a PCCM faculty member and fellow who are available throughout the day to provide critical care support to patients and to ensure that all advanced care for all organ systems are supported to optimize outcomes for patients with life-threatening Neurological and Neurosurgical disorders.
