INTENSIVE CARE UNIT - NCAI

Neurosurgical-Anesthesiology Intensive Care Unit 32-2

As a neurosurgical anaesthesiology intensive care unit (NCAI), intensive care unit 32-2 focuses on the nursing and medical care of patients with underlying neurovascular or neurointensive medical conditions.

"What makes us special is the team and the team spirit," says Jaqueline Kasparek, a long-standing nurse in Intensive Care Unit 32-2. In close interdisciplinary collaboration, nurses, doctors, physiotherapists, speech therapists and others work together to care for patients requiring intensive care or monitoring on an initial 10 bed spaces, including ventilation capacity. There are plans to expand this to up to 18 beds in the future. The strong team spirit is the key to successful patient care and support for relatives. The team spirit has a positive effect on the cooperation and commitment of the employees, so that even in particularly challenging times - such as the corona pandemic - it is possible to carry out everyday work with joy in the profession.

The nursing team is characterized by a high level of expertise in patient-centered care. Core competencies include individual patient observation and the promotion and preservation of patient resources. Treatment goals are developed, defined and reviewed together with patients and their relatives in the interdisciplinary team.

A wide range of different further and advanced training courses, such as specialist training in intensive care and anaesthesia, practical instruction, kinaesthetics, basal stimulation and many other courses, provide employees with a personal development perspective for their own skills on request. In addition, the ward is committed to promoting the transfer of nursing theories into practice as part of continuous quality maintenance and improvement. By means of various projects, such as the one-minute training course, the intensive care diary and nursing case discussions, employees in the team are encouraged to practice their profession independently and are encouraged to think critically. Active participation in international studies will strengthen the integration of evidence-based care in everyday practice in the future.
