HI Dear !!
There`s nothing to get worried about .. being a student it ias a great opportunity to get a posting in the neurosurgical wards ..
I was the incharge physiotherapist for the neuro surgical ICU for 2 yrs and trust me u need not worry .. it is just the matter of presence of mind and how well you know to tackle a conditions physio theraputically ..
In neuro surgical patients kindly ask the surgeon before mobilizing the patient .. and go through the neuro case sheet totally .. You Can take the surgeon if the patient needs little more duration of rest or can be mobilized .. if yes , take some additional help as per the patient condition , assess the mm.strength before you get the patient out of the bed..
You can check for the lung fields ,as most for them need chest physio due to prolonged bed rest and unconscious state ( in some cases ).. Here you can learn and read about suctioning, chest physio and techniques that help in increasing lung capacities (spirometer )
If told to mobilise the patient , 1st check the patients static stability on bed in sitting and standing , only then go ahead with the mobilisation.
I think this should be good enough ..
ALL the best
