Topic: Dedicated Neuro-Intensive Care Unit - Requirement

Is having a dedicated neuro-intensive care unit a requirement?

Any examples are for illustrative purposes only.

No, a separate neuro-intensive care unit is not required. However, there must be dedicated neuro-intensive care beds with appropriately trained staff available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the care of complex stroke patients.
