title: [From emergency services to neurosurgical intensive care, the role of the nurse in neurosurgery].
abstract: Treating a patient with a head injury requires a full general assessment, a rigorous evaluation of the severity of the trauma and the prevention of brain insults of systemic origin. Monitoring by the nurse is essential and determines the carrying out of additional tests. She must look out for neurological deterioration and prepare the patient and his or her family for potential sequelae.
