    Abstract:
    In winter 1992/93 the working association for neurologic intensive care medicine (ANIM) undertook the continuation of a survey concerning the situation of the neurologic intensive care medicine in Germany which was first done in 1988. Altogether 51 intensive care units with in all 281 beds were questioned. 38 were located in the old, 13 in the new federal states. The intensive care units were classified into 3 groups according to equipment and organisation (ventilation-units, monitoring-units, interdisciplinary-units). The evaluation was done covering different questions like number of beds, type of clinic, number of doctors, number and training of nurses, vacant established posts in the nursing area, number and type of ventilation apparatus and monitors, possibility to measure intracranial pressure etc. In addition detailed data were given concerning the equipment of these intensive care units, the availability of major devices like CT or a neurosurgery department, the diagnosis of the patients treated on those intensive care units and the necessary average duration of staying.
