Name: D5 Neurosciences Patient Population: D5 is a 43 bed
neurosciences unit with three levels of care. We take patients with
ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, brain tumors, aneurysms,
seizures, traumatic brain injuries, neuromuscular diseases and
other diagnosis’ involving the neurologic system. There are 22
neuro floor beds with patients requiring every 4-hour monitoring.
There are also 21 neuro progressive care beds with patients
requiring monitoring from every 15 minutes to every 2 hours.
Additionally, there are 7 Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) beds
embedded in the 22 neuro floor beds. These patients are seizure
disorder patients admitted electively with their anti-convulsant
medications on hold and hard wired to continuous EEG. This allows
the physicians to identify the area of the brain where the seizures
are occurring. Many of these patients become candidates for brain
mapping with surgically placed grids to further pinpoint the area
causing the seizures. This mapping allows the surgeon to determine
if the patient would be a candidate for surgical removal of parts
of the brain to stop seizure activity and still allow the patient
to have functionality. Patients in the neuro progressive areas are
those with fresh strokes, subarachnoid hemorrhages, TPA
administration – either initiated or maintained on the unit,
craniotomies, ventriculostomies, lumbar drains, SEPS drains,
anti-hypertensive medication drips such as Cleviprex and other
neuro patients requiring close monitoring. Neuro progressive
patients usually advance to floor patients in a few days. The
nurse-to-patient ratio for floor patients is typically 1:4 or 5 and
in the progressive areas 1:2 or 3, depending on acuity. Required
