“…Recently, specific neurological intensive care has gained in importance (9,10). However, information on the occurrence of nosocomial infections in the neurology ICUs is limited (3,8,(11)(12)(13)(14). The altered sensorium, incompetence of pharynx and larynx, muscle weakness requiring intubation and ventilation of the patients in neurology ICUs are some of the factors that lead to nosocomial infections (15).…”

“…Because it determines comatose status, GCS has been in use by neurology ICUs (14,34). Similarly, in the neurology clinic where this study was conducted, the use of scores obtained through GCS is a routine procedure.…”

“…There are number of studies regarding incidence, prevalence, risk factors, and the impact of nosocomial/HAI on mortality and outcome in multidisciplinary ICUs; however, owing to the limited facility of separate neurological and or neurosurgical ICUs (NNICUs) in developing countries, only a few studies are available in reference to HAI in the NNICU-setting and still fewer regarding VAP among these patients.

“…Unter allen intensivpflichtigen Patienten nehmen solche der neurologischen Intensivstationen eine gesonderte Stellung ein (Zolldann et al 2005). Die Unterscheidung zwischen Patienten mit neurologischen und nicht-neurologischen Diagnosen ist deshalb von Bedeutung, weil neurologische Patienten im Vergleich zu sonstigen Intensivpatienten einen höheren Krankheitsschweregrad, insbesondere im Hinblick auf zentrale oder periphere Ventilationsstörungen, Schluckstörungen, Bewusstseinseintrübungen und damit verbundene längere Phasen der Immobilität aufweisen und somit eine längere stationäre Verweildauer haben (Fagon et al 1996, Heckmann et al 1999. Die zentrale Ventilationsstörung ist durch den "brainstem shock" oder "retikulären Schock", wie ihn Baumgartner 1979 Mortalitätsrisiko an (Addington et al 2005).…”
