Care in specialized intensive care units (ICUs) is generally of higher quality than in general care units. Neurocritical care focuses on the care of critically ill patients with primary or secondary neurosurgical and neurological problems and was initially developed to manage postoperative neurosurgical patients. It expanded thereafter to the management of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI), intracranial hemorrhage and complications of subarachnoid hemorrhage; including vasospasm, elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) and the cardiopulmonary complications of brain injury.
