Neurotrauma Nursing: Clinical and Educational Challenges

Open Access

Abstract

Neurosurgery trauma patients are unique, and their care is often complex, requiring multidisciplinary, multimodal, and creative approaches. The uniqueness of brain injuries mean that patient care must be individualised, and therefore a standardised, generic approach is not sufficient. This paper explores a case study of a patient with a severe traumatic brain injury, detailing management of some of the key complications that they experienced. This case raised several challenges in both the provision of clinical care, and the required nursing education. The case highlighted the importance of specialised, knowledgeable and experienced neurosurgery nurses, and raises several questions for future practice and research.
