Abstract

Neurocritical care is an ever growing specialty with paradigm changes being the norm. Some of the established practices like triple H therapy for SAH and steroids in pyogenic meningitis have seen major changes in published evidence. This article evaluates the evidence published over the last few years which resulted in a change in the authors approach to and practice of neuro intensive care.
