Highlights neurointensivists' role in managing neurological outcomes in critically ill patients, suggesting a need for recognition in Japan.
Neurocritical care is a specialized field dedicated to improving the neurological outcome of critically ill patients. In Western countries, experts in neurocritical care play a pivotal role in managing patients with severe neurological diseases. This emerging specialty is still not widely recognized in Japan. Herein, we highlight the importance of neurocritical care and neurointensivists, particularly in the context of post-cardiac arrest syndrome, where neurological prognostication remains complex and uncertain.
