With the development of modern science and technology, people’s understanding of diseases has made great progress, and the level of diagnosis and treatment has been significantly improved. In the field of neurosurgery, the wide application of many high-end equipments and technologies such as operating microscope, neuroendoscope, neuronavigation, electrophysiological monitoring, and intraoperative CT, MRI, etc., has provided a broad space for the development of neurosurgery, and significantly improved surgical efficacy. However, a problem that should not be ignored is that while people pay more and more attention to surgical techniques and skills, they neglect the management of neurosurgical critically ill patients. For the heavy craniocerebral and spinal cord injuries, hemorrhagic cerebrovascular disease, severe central nervous system infections, and neurosurgical perioperative critically ill patients that we have to deal with every day, their prognosis varies greatly, which has become one of the important factors that seriously constrain the further development of neurosurgery. Based on the comprehensive consideration of the future development of neurosurgery, the Neurosurgery Section of the Chinese Medical Association initiated the project of writing the Expert Consensus on Neurosurgical Critical Care Management in 2012, and at the same time prepared for the establishment of the Chinese Neurosurgical Critical Care Management Collaborative Group. In view of the fact that there is currently no systematic international guideline for neurosurgical critical care management, over the past year, under the specific leadership of Prof. Zhou Dingbiao, the main committee member of the Neurosurgery Section of the Chinese Medical Association, and with the help of experts in critical care medicine, neurological scientists, emergency medicine, and evidence-based medicine, the Society invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the querying and compilation of the relevant norms, and at the same time, followed the principles of evidence-based medicine to develop a consensus on neurosurgical critical care management. With the help of neurosurgeons, emergency medicine experts and evidence-based medicine experts, the Society has invested a lot of human and material resources in searching and writing relevant norms, and following the principle of evidence-based medicine, the Society has pioneered a set of series of norms on neurosurgical critical care management, with a view to improving neurosurgeons’ management of neurosurgical patients with critical illnesses, and allowing medical and nursing personnel who are interested in engaging in this field to have a direction for development and organization. To this end, the Neurosurgical Society of the Chinese Medical Association will hold the release of the Expert Consensus on Neurosurgical Critical Care Management and the inaugural meeting of the Chinese Neurosurgical Critical Care Management Collaborative Group on June 29, 2013, in Beijing, China. The meeting will invite a number of experts in the field of neurosurgical emergencies and critical care from the U.S. and Taiwan as well as from China to give lectures and speeches. Neurosurgical critical care medicine is a rapidly developing interdisciplinary field full of unknowns, and there is a lot of room for in-depth research and exploration, which requires the medical and nursing staff engaged in neurosurgical critical care to develop and explore with a new concept, open mind, receptive attitude, and collaborative spirit. The conference sincerely welcomes the participation and exchange of medical and nursing personnel engaged in neurosurgery, neurology, critical care medicine and emergency department who are engaged in related neurological emergency and critical care specialties.
