The full-time neurosurgery inpatient units have a sufficient number of dedicated beds to be able to care for neurosurgery patients at all times.
Full inpatient, day inpatient and consultation neurosurgery units provide access and care for severely disabled patients with reduced mobility.
Intensive care or continuous monitoring of neurosurgery patients is the subject of a protocol agreed between the medical managers of the neurosurgery units and the intensive care and continuous monitoring units, specifying in particular the number and location of beds made available, the rules for admission and discharge, the methods of patient care and the skills of the staff.
