Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and quality of a pre-hospital holistic multifunctional teleconsultation system. This system consists of on-line transmissions of vital parameters, audio- and video-signals from the scene to a telemedicine centre, where a trained emergency physician (tele-EMS physician) uses software-based guideline conform algorithms for diagnosis and treatment.

At the prehospital emergency scene half of the patients will receive this telemedicine-based approach and the other half the conventional emergency physician-based care.
