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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Diagnostic accuracy
Will there be fewer observational diagnosis
220 patients in 1.5 year
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Doctor satisfaction
220 patients in 1.5 year
Study Arms (2)
Take arterial blood gas
Patients with impaired consciousness are randomised into having analysed a arterial blood gas.
Do not take arterial blood gas
Patients with impaired consciousness are randomised into not having analysed a arterial blood gas.
Interventions
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).
Eligibility Criteria
220 patients seen prehospital by the mobile emergency care unit in Odense, Denmark. Patients have to have impaired consciousness (Glasgow Coma Scale \< 13).
You may qualify if:
- GCS \< 13
You may not qualify if:
- Pregnant or breastfeeding
- detained or imprisoned patient
