Neuroscience Critical Care

The Neurotrauma and Neuroscience Critical Care Program is internationally recognized for the treatment of high acuity brain and spinal cord injuries. UT physicians manage more neurotrauma cases than any other center in the United States, with neurointensivists and experienced mid-level practitioners staffing the 32-bed Neuroscience and Neurotrauma ICU around the clock to provide ongoing intensive care to critically ill patients. The program continues to grow and now operates the largest and busiest Neuro ICU in the region and the second largest in the nation.

The Neuroscience Critical Care Program is an international leader in research conducted on innovative treatments following neurotrauma, including participation in several multicenter trials.

神经科学ICU

The Neuroscience ICU (NSICU) is equipped with multimodality monitoring capability including ICP, CPP, continuous video EEG monitoring, continuous cardiac output, SjvO2 monitoring and the country’s first use of the latest model of digitalized brain oxymetry (PbtO2) with monitors connected to patient bedside monitoring. The NSICU is a truly academic training environment where fellows work with neurosurgery, neurology, anesthesia and emergency medicine residents, as well as rotating fellows from other critical care programs. Fellows may rotate through the medical, surgical/trauma and cardiovascular ICUs and are offered a number of electives including anesthesiology, stroke,EEG, TCD, neuroradiology and burns. They also have the opportunity to work on the nation’s first Mobile Stroke Unit.
