I have extensive experience in neurocritical care, having worked in a Neuro ICU for the past three years. During this time, I have managed a wide range of neurological emergencies, including strokes, traumatic brain injuries, and intracranial hemorrhages. I am proficient in using advanced monitoring equipment and have a strong understanding of the complex care required for these patients, including specialized nursing interventions and multidisciplinary team collaboration.

I thrive in high-stress environments by maintaining a calm and focused demeanor. I prioritize tasks based on urgency and importance, ensuring that patient care is never compromised. Effective communication with the team is crucial, and I make sure to regularly update colleagues on patient statuses and any changes in condition. Additionally, I practice self-care to manage stress, which allows me to provide the best possible care to my patients.

To prevent ICU-acquired complications, I adhere to evidence-based practices such as regular翻身 (turning) to prevent pressure ulcers, meticulous infection control measures, and early mobilization to reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis. I also closely monitor patients for signs of delirium and use appropriate interventions to manage it. By staying vigilant and proactive, I minimize the risk of complications and ensure the best outcomes for my patients.

Collaboration is key in the Neuro ICU. I regularly communicate with neurologists, neurosurgeons, physical therapists, and respiratory therapists to ensure a cohesive care plan. I attend multidisciplinary rounds to discuss patient progress, challenges, and adjustments to care. By sharing insights and expertise, we can tailor interventions to each patient's needs and improve outcomes. Effective collaboration also helps in quickly addressing any issues that arise.

One challenging case involved a patient with a severe traumatic brain injury who developed multiple complications. I coordinated with the team to implement advanced life support measures and closely monitored the patient's neurological status. By maintaining open communication and staying adaptable, we were able to stabilize the patient and prevent further deterioration. This experience reinforced the importance of meticulous care, teamwork, and staying informed about the latest treatment protocols.
