NEUROCRITICAL CARE UNIT
One of the most outstanding aspects of the Case
Neurology residency program is the Neurocritical Care
Unit (NCCU). The NCCU is a 10-bed unit
designed for the care of neurology and neurosurgical
patients who require specialized intensive nursing and
medical care. The NCCU is involved with the care of
complex patients with neurologic and neurosurgical
disorders;
acute treatment of stroke patients (i.e. Brain Attack),
and evaluation of novel treatments for acute stroke. The
unit is directed by
Michael DeGeorgia, MD.
The ICU
is physically adjacent to Lerner Tower 4, the home of
the neurology inpatient service. Further expansion of
the NCCU is planned for 2008 with an increase in the
number of beds, and an increase in the number of
fellows. |
