Summary
When Werner Hacke, the 39-year-old newly appointed chair of neurology at the University of Heidelberg in Germany, strode into the 12-bed Neuro-Intensive Care Unit in 1987, it was the start of something new. Neurocritical care began in the 1980s with convergence of the evolution of critical care and advances in the diagnosis and management of severe brain injury. Although many people contributed to that convergence, three stand out: Allan Ropper at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Dan Hanley at Johns Hopkins Hospital, and Werner Hacke. Bold, confident, and with a take-no-prisoners focus on aggressive treatment, Hacke was the embodiment of neurocritical care, especially for acute stroke. The roots of neurocritical care can be traced to the surgical wards of Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore early in the twentieth century.
