Patients with neurological diseases, such as myasthenia gravis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, central nervous system infections, status epilepticus, and stroke require care in intensive care units and such patients remain dependent on ICU support for a longer period of time. In this lesson, we will learn the rationale for managing acute and chronic neurological conditions in a dedicated ICU environment.
