About Neuro Critical Care

Neurocritical care is a specialized field within critical care medicine, focusing on the management of patients with life-threatening neurological conditions. Our expert team provides advanced monitoring and care, working tirelessly to help patients recover from critical neurological illnesses.

What We Do

Neurocritical care integrates intensive care, neurology, neurosurgery, and interventional radiology to manage complex neurological conditions. Our team operates around the clock to stabilize patients and optimize clinical outcomes.

Common Conditions We Treat
Stroke

We provide immediate, aggressive care for patients presenting with stroke. Upon arrival at the emergency department, a "Code Stroke" is activated, and protocol-driven management begins. The patient will receive the best possible reperfusion therapy for ischemic stroke or surgical intervention for haemorrhagic stroke. Following reperfusion, patients are transferred to critical care for hemodynamic optimization and neuromonitoring, improving recovery chances.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Each year, we treat numerous patients with head injuries. After the primary survey in the emergency department, trauma victims undergo standard trauma imaging. If an operable lesion is detected, surgery is performed immediately. Non-operative and post-operative patients are then transferred to critical care. In addition to standard intensive care, these patients receive advanced neuromonitoring, such as intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring, pupillometry, and jugular venous oximetry.

Seizure Disorders

Patients presenting with life-threatening seizures or status epilepticus receive protocolized seizure management, which includes EEG monitoring. With the help of advanced diagnostic tools, these patients are rapidly treated to terminate seizures and prevent further complications.

Ruptured Brain Aneurysms

A brain aneurysm is a small outpouching in the blood vessels supplying the brain. When it ruptures, it can cause life-threatening bleeding around the brain, known as subarachnoid haemorrhage. Patients presenting with "the worst headache of their life" are screened for this condition. If an aneurysm is detected, an angiogram is performed, and the aneurysm is either coiled or surgically clipped.

Infections

We manage a wide range of patients with infections or inflammation of the brain and its coverings, such as meningitis and encephalitis. These conditions can be bacterial, viral, tubercular, fungal, or autoimmune in origin. Accurate diagnosis is supported by advanced diagnostic testing, and treatment is carried out in close collaboration with our infectious diseases team.

Demyelinating and Neurodegenerative Diseases

Patients presenting with acute weakness after an infection are screened for Guillain-Barre syndrome and treated accordingly. With optimal supportive care in the ICU and structured rehabilitation after discharge, many of these patients experience substantial functional recovery. We also provide expert care for patients with myasthenia gravis, multiple sclerosis, and progressive neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease.
