上州立大学医院's 神经科学 Services represents a comprehensive continuum of services and care for neurology and neurosurgery patients. The 神经科学 nursing units work together to support patient process and care throughout each level of need. We pride ourselves on the neuroscience nursing specialty, focusing on the unique expertise needed to care for this specialized patient population.

As patients progress through their recovery they are moved from the 神经科学 加护病房 to the 神经科学 Intermediate Care unit and/or the 神经科学 Medical 外科手术 Unit in our beautiful facility in the East Tower. The Gamma Knife Center also cares for patients in need of specialized care. 每日出院计划轮询, involving all members of the multi-disciplinary team, 周一至周五举行.

神经科学 Medical 外科手术 Unit (9G)

9G is the 19-bed 神经科学 Medical 外科手术 Unit. The nurses on this unit care for a wide range of patients who have undergone complex neurological procedures as well as trauma. The unit also cares for a wide range of neurology diagnoses including stroke and migraine. The unit also has telemetry monitoring capability for 16 patients.

神经科学 Intermediate Care Unit (9E)

The 神经科学 Intermediate Care Unit is a 13-bed combination step-down, stroke and epilepsy monitoring unit. The nurses are trained in critical care as well as epilepsy monitoring. This unit is the primary support for patients admitted with newly diagnosed stroke in need of emergent TPA administration. All beds have state-of-the-art monitoring capability.

神经科学 加护病房 (9F)

The 神经科学 加护病房 is a state-of-the-art 14-bed neuroscience intensive care unit. 9F is the only Neuro ICU in Central New York. Nurses in this unit care for the complex neurocritically ill patient requiring advanced neuromonitoring and neuro-assessment. Common patient diagnoses include brain trauma, 蛛网膜下腔出血, 硬膜下和硬膜外血肿, 脑部肿瘤, 以及癫痫持续状态. Complex treatment modalities in the NSICU include intracranial pressure monitoring, and external ventricular drainage, the use of brain tissue oxygenation monitoring and induced therapeutic hypothermia for cardiac arrest as well as for complex neurological conditions. Specialized training and education is provided during orientation. A learning environment is supported in the daily routine of the NSICU staff.

Central New York Gamma Knife® Center

The neuroscience program at University Hospital is home to one of the latest advances in Neurosurgery, Leksell伽玛刀C型. 以无与伦比的精确度, the Gamma Knife delivers powerful doses of radiation to a variety of lesions in the brain, including some previously considered inoperable. Gamma Knife radiosurgery is now the standard of treatment for many 脑部肿瘤, including many previously considered inoperable, AVM和三叉神经痛. This state-of-the-art technology provides a tremendous dimension in the treatment of neurosurgical patients.
