Brief Summary:
In the anesthesiologist-manned mobile emergency car unit an analyzing device for blood gas testing is present since 2014. This study will determine if a prehospital arterial blood gas helps the doctor to make more precise diagnosis prehospitally. Furthermore it will be determined if the doctors find this device helpful in assessing and treating patients with affected consciousness.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment
Unconscious (Psychology) Other: With arterial blood gas, parameters not being normal can be corrected

Group/Cohort Intervention/treatment
Take arterial blood gas
Patients with impaired consciousness are randomised into having analysed a arterial blood gas.
 Other: With arterial blood gas, parameters not being normal can be corrected
If arterial blood gas is analysed answers provide the possibility to make more accurate diagnosis and treat specific abnormal parameters (e.g. electrolytes, oxygenation and so forth).
Do not take arterial blood gas
Patients with impaired consciousness are randomised into not having analysed a arterial blood gas.


Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Diagnostic accuracy [ Time Frame: 220 patients in 1.5 year ]
    Will there be fewer observational diagnosis


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Doctor satisfaction [ Time Frame: 220 patients in 1.5 year ]
    Did the doctor find the arterial gas or lack of it affected the treatment and diagnosis
