<strong>The UCLA Neurocritical Care Program&#39;s mission is to provide the highest quality critical care to patients with life-threatening neurologic disease, <em>today</em>, while building the tools, through research and education, that will enable future generations to cure these devastating diseases, <em>tomorrow</em>.</strong>

We have designed an open visitation policy, frequent physician updates, and a transparent policy that empowers families during this difficult time.

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-left: 0.25in" class="MsoNormal" align="left">
Our 24 bed Neurocritical Care Unit is designed to care for very sick patients. We accept transfers from our neighbor hospitals, as well as remote sites. Our transfer call center is manned 24 hours/day and can connect your doctors with critical care doctors to discuss your family member&#39;s condition.

UCLA Neurocritical Care features a emergency response hypothermia consultation service for patients who have had Cardiac Arrest. We can provide hypothermia treatment at UCLA or provide consultation services to other facilities for patients with cardiac arrest. We feature advanced surface and vascular-based cooling catheters for rapid induction of hypothermia. Call 310-825-6301 for the on-call Neurointensivist for details.

<span class="CenterSubTitle"><strong>Features</strong></span> 
</p>
<ul>
	<li>A focus on recognizing altered function in the brain and spinal cord and immediate intervention to prevent secondary injury improves outcomes and lowers hospitalization costs. </li>
	<li>A 24-bed state-of-the-art neurosurgical/neurological intensive care unit (ICU) directed by a neurointensivist along with neurosurgical and neurological attendings and residents. </li>
	<li>An elite team of neuroscience nurses, respiratory technologists, EEG technologists and nurse managers provides minute to minute ICU care. </li>
	<li>Multimodality monitoring of the nervous system includes electroencephalography (EEG), evoked potentials (EP),&nbsp;<a href="body.cfm?id=405">transcranial doppler </a>(TCD),&nbsp;<a href="body.cfm?id=405">cerebral blood flow</a>, intracranial pressure monitoring, cerebral microdialysis and positron emission tomography (PET). Continuous EEG in the NeuroICU was pioneered at UCLA. </li>
	<li>Continuous EEG Monitoring (cEEG) in the ICU detects silent seizures, which occur in 20 percent of comatose brain trauma patients and lead to worsening intracranial pressure <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18074483?ordinalpos=1&amp;itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum" target="_blank" title="Seizures are bad for the brain">(Vespa et al 2007).</a> </li>
