Continuous Monitoring in Our Neuro ICU
In neurocritical care, changes can happen quickly. That's why 24/7 monitoring and advanced diagnostics are essential.
We monitor for:
- Blood flow to the brain
- Brain activity via EEG (electroencephalogram)
- Brain blood pressure
- Intracranial pressure (from brain swelling)
- Oxygen levels in the brain
This continuous data helps us make timely, accurate decisions that can mean better outcomes and faster recovery.
