Abstract
The Neurointensive Care has undergone a great evolution in the past twenty years and nowadays it has become a well defined area of special interest, where the fields of knowledge of Neurology, Neurosurgery, Critical Care and Anesthesiology are joint in a whole. As a result, an increasing number of Neuro-ICU (NICU) have opened in major hospitals allowing a more specific and specialistic approach to critical patients with neurological disorders.
