摘要

Background:Following acute brain injury, patients in the intensive care unit often undergo hourly or every-other-hour exams ("neurochecks") to monitor for neurodeterioration. We assessed health care provider attitudes towards neurocheck frequency and evaluated providers' ideal neurocheck frequency. Methods:This was a cross-sectional, online survey distributed in Spring 2021 at a tertiary care academic medical center. Providers from multiple intensive care unit and neuroscience clinical specialties including attending faculty, medical trainees, advanced practice providers, and bedside nurses were invited to participate. Results:Among 177 participants, 61 (34%) and 116 (66%) were self-identified as ordering and performing providers, respectively. The survey response rate was 58% among physicians and 51% among bedside nurses with neurological expertise. The most common medical and non-medical reasons for ordering hourly neurochecks were "a specific diagnosis with anticipated course" and "standard of care," respectively. Compared with ordering providers, performing providers felt guidelines regarding neurocheck frequency (P<0.01) and duration (P<0.01) should be proscriptive. Conversely, ordering providers felt hourly neurochecks were detrimental to patients with acute brain injury (P=0.02) and believed they would not utilize hourly neurochecks if there was another mode of monitoring available (P=0.03). Performing providers identified multiple patient-related factors impacting the difficulty of and their willingness to perform frequent neurochecks, and only 70% of neurochecks were perceived to be performed as ordered. Both ordering and performing providers preferred every-other-hour neurochecks following acute brain injury. Conclusions:This survey revealed clinically relevant differences in ordering versus performing provider attitudes about frequent neurochecks. Providers preferred every-other-hour rather than hourly neurochecks.
