Psychiatric training of nurses on ICUs is important, as cerebral dysfunctional states often show disturbances of behaviour. With two case reports of patients seen by our psychiatric service to an ICU, we want to demonstrate the potential benefits of a neuropsychiatric training for nurses. The implementation of psychiatric nurse clinical specialists on ICUs is suggested.
