Article Synopsis
- Hourly neurological exams are commonly used to monitor patients but have limited data supporting their effectiveness.
- In a study involving 212 nurse shifts in a neurological intensive care unit, 14% of shifts reported neurological changes, with the majority detected during scheduled assessments.
- Despite identifying changes, over half of the cases did not lead to a change in the treatment plan, suggesting that the frequency and impact of these exams may vary depending on the diagnosis.
