What NEUROINTENSIVISTS are Saying About ENLS
“
How do I use ENLS ? ENLS is the foundational training material for providers working in my neuro-ICU . By requiring this certification of
all provider staff , we create a common language and expectations for care . ENLS certification is required for every resident , fellow , medical student , nurse practitioner , and physician ’ s assistant that does a Neurocritical care rotation or works in the unit for a month or longer . It is also recommended for all of our nurses , many of whom have been certified since ENLS was released .
While the practice of Neurocritical care is much too complex to be comprehensively addressed within one training course , and care needs to be individualized for every patient , I believe ENLS is a basic framework
around which standards of care can be created . Thus , it is an invaluable resource for every ICU director and attending neurointensivist seeking to create consistency of patient care . Because ENLS is
constantly evolving , I trust the revisions to keep up with changing medical science as well as any series of documents and protocols can . ENLS is a cornerstone of my practice , and provides the basis for quality standards in our neuro-ICU .

ENLS was tough and useful . It is an amazing compilation of important and succinct
information with practical implications . Many primary specialty textbooks do not contain the information provided by ENLS , especially up-to-date details
that guide fast-paced management decisions from the first encounter with the neurological or neurosurgical patient in the Emergency Department to their long-term NICU stay . Despite the fact that I am a mid-career neurointensivist with years of experience , I found a few module questions quite challenging . I have definitely learned something new .
