Neuro ICU - G20/H22 Unit Profile:

The Neurological Intensive Care Unit on G20/H22 provides world-class care to complex neurological medical and surgical patients. The unit is certified as part of the Comprehensive Stroke Center within Cleveland Clinic's nationally renowned Neurological Institute. Located on Cleveland Clinic's Main Campus, the patient population of the nursing unit includes young adult through geriatrics with diagnoses of conditions such as: ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, subdural hematomas, status epilepticus/seizures, brain tumors, neuromuscular disorders and spinal injuries. Our talented nursing staff consists of highly trained specialists in advanced neurological assessment techniques. Our nursing caregivers commonly perform state-of-the-art medical interventions, including aneurysm coiling, interventional radiology for acute strokes and the treatment of vasospasm, hypothermia therapy and medically induced paralysis and come to optimize brain tissue viability.

Our nurses are an integral part of promoting early patient mobility, which is facilitated with modern equipment such as ceiling lifts and other devices to ensure caregiver and patient safety. The units tout an individualized orientation process that enhances the learning experience by allowing new nurses to observe and take part in a wide-range of procedures. New nursing caregivers are also supported with one-on-one preceptors, as well as weekly progress meetings
