Nakasoner Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I am in Neurosurgery at a County Hospital and I round in the ICU/DOU. Our post-op patient's are there for q1-2h neurochecks, usually for TBI, post-crani, or post severe spinal injuries, or high risk. Some are in comas/sedated and have many lines--intub/vent dep/trach/PEG, etc. Need to monitor lots of labs and work with the ICU/Medicine Team/Palliative care/Rehab and Social work teams for dispo after stable as patient have significant impairment. Anti-seizure mgmt, reading lots of scans--CTH/MRI brain, watching sodiums, ICP, BP, vent status, and attending family meetings. Lots of GCS and cranial nerve assessments, aphasia assessments. It can be grave. I have done this for the past 13 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
