Neurosurgical intensive care unit
The special professional challenge!Over 1500 patients are treated in the intensive care unit of the Department of Neurosurgery every year.
The ward has 17 intensive care beds equipped with the latest technology. Our daily tasks are varied and demanding. These include the post-operative monitoring of patients following intracranial surgery and bleeding, traumatic brain injury and angiological emergencies.
Nursing staff, neurosurgeons, anaesthetists, speech therapists and physiotherapists work very closely together in the therapeutic team.
All modern intensive care treatment procedures are available to you in our intensive care unit. The equipment is state of the art.
- A wide range of training opportunities, e.g. training opportunities for those starting their careers in nursing
- Trusting cooperation in a specialized team
- great colleagues you can rely on at all times
- close interdisciplinary cooperation for the benefit of our patients
Our team consists of five doctors, 49 nursing staff and seven nursing assistants. Following further capacity expansion, we now have 17 intensive therapy beds.
The professional skills of our employees are important to us. That's why we offer internal specialist training in intensive care .
The aim of our 14-month qualification program is to give you confidence when starting work in the intensive care unit. We would like to qualify you for your work in intensive care, avoid excessive demands and make it easier for you to settle into the working world of intensive care units.
During the practical assignments, the participants are accompanied and supported by experienced qualified staff, practical instructors and the head of the qualification program.
The practical assignments are accompanied by a theoretical qualification. The content includes clinical and equipment monitoring as well as the basics of infusion and medication therapy. The topic of ventilation is covered in greater depth in special "ventilation days".
In addition, regular coaching by the supervision service is integrated into the program. The appointments are mandatory and are taken into account by the responsible managers when planning duties. Participants are released from duty on the ward for this purpose.
Target group: The program is aimed at all new employees who start in the intensive care unit and consciously decide to work on a ward.
