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.
