After prolonged deliberations guide lines have now been agreed upon regarding the training and examination of nursing personnel for work in recovery and intensive care units. The recommendations, as adopted by the German Hospital Association 16th November 1976, cannot be accepted unreservedly. One of the main objections is that the proposed course of training would lead to excessive specialization at too early a stage. The aim should be to provide training of an interdisciplinary character, including anaesthesia.

[Centralized system for EEG-diagnosis and EEG-monitoring in a neurologic intensive care unit (author's transl)].
A centralized EEG system installed in a neurologic intensive care unit is described. It is the first step to a computerized EEG monitoring which on the basis of conventional EEG recordings already permits a "brain monitoring" to some extent. It consists of a system for total EEG diagnosis which is connected with a central EEG laboratory via long-distance transmission lines, and of a system for EEG-monitoring which is part of the general beside monitor system. The possibilities of this system are demonstrated in monitoring of patients with epileptic seizures.
