doi:10.3877/cma.j.issn.2096-1537.2025.01.003

Abstract

Abstract:

Neurocritical care is an interdisciplinary field that integrates critical care medicine with neurology and neurosurgery. It encompasses primary neurocritical diseases or secondary neurological injuries accompanied with existing or potential organ dysfunction，requiring intensive monitoring and treatment. In 2024，numberous high-quality clinical studies emerged in the field. This article reviews and summarizes the key developments in neurocritical care in 2024.

Key words: Neurocritical care, Traumatic brain injury, Intracerebral hemorrhage, Cerebral infarction, Subarachnoid hemorrhage
