There is an increasing demand for acute neurologic care because of the heavy burden of neurocritical illness, and considering the morbidity and mortality of severe neurological diseases remains high. Neurocritical care, in retrospect, is a relatively new subspecialty dedicated to providing critical care for neurologic patients. The goal of neurocritical care is to assess and treat acute neurological diseases and prevent related complications that influence survival and recovery. Time plays an important role in rapid diagnosis and early management in many acute neurological diseases. Furthermore, neuroprognostication of consciousness recovery, long-term functional outcome as well as ethical issues regarding withholding or withdrawing life sustaining therapies are serious challenges that need to be overcome in the future of neurocritical care.
This Frontiers topic will bring together a series of articles on the topic of ‘Trends in Neurocritical Care’. For the growing population of critically ill patients with neurological diseases, the goal will be to highlight the insights on the technology of monitoring, diagnostic algorithms and management for patients requiring neurocritical care. Nevertheless, submissions regarding topics such as cancer in neurocritical care are also welcomed.
Moreover, the burden of COVID crisis on the front-line clinical team in neurocritical care should be discussed for preventing treatment delay and protecting healthcare workers from respiratory and other infections. Updated clinical evidence will help improve practice and identify research gaps in neurocritical care to pursue innovative research. Considering all these mentions aspects, the breadth of this Research Topic is essential to compile findings and narrow future directions for practice and studies.
The Topic Editors of this Research Topic welcomes all types of manuscript submissions regarding critical care issues of original research, narrative review, meta-analysis, cohort study, clinical guideline, protocol, machine learning, or artificial intelligence in the following, but not limited, to areas:
• Post-stroke care in neurocritical care
• Movement disorder emergencies in neurocritical care
• Diagnosis and management of neuro-oncology in neurocritical care
• Multimodality monitoring in neurocritical care to prevent secondary neurological injury
• The impact of COVID-19 crisis in neurocritical care
