<br/><br/> Identifying Neuroemergencies provides practical information how to best manage and triage patients in the first hour of admission in the emergency department. Physicians consider a neurologic emergency when the patient has clearly worsened and has changing neurologic signs. Decisions are impactful; any neurocritical illness demands immediate treatment. Neurologists can assist further with successful triage of the neurologic emergency to an intensive care unit.
