Neurocritical Care

Aims & Scope

Neurocritical Care is a peer reviewed scientific publication whose major goal is to disseminate new knowledge on all aspects of acute neurological care.

It is directed towards neurosurgeons, neuro-intensivists, neurologists, anesthesiologists, emergency physicians, and critical care nurses treating patients with urgent neurologic disorders.

These are conditions that may potentially evolve rapidly and could need immediate medical or surgical intervention.

Neurocritical Care provides a comprehensive overview of current developments in intensive care neurology, neurosurgery and neuroanesthesia and includes information about new therapeutic avenues and technological innovations.

Neurocritical Care is the official journal of the Neurocritical Care Society.
