Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Comparison of telemedical prehospital emergency care and conventional on-scene physician based care of hypertensive emergencies and urgencies. The adherence to current Guidelines should be researched.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Telemedically guided cases of hypertensive emergencies (april 2014 - March 2015) and urgencies are compared with a historical control group of conventional emergency medical service physician care on-scene for these scenarios. The historical control group is a time period prior to implementation of the telemedicine system and after a research project with a precursor telemedicine system. No telemedical support but only conventional on-scene EMS physician care was available (November 2013 - March 2014).

Telemedical care

Intervention Type OTHER

Telemedically guided care based on a standard operating procedure

Control group

Historical cases of of hypertensive emergencies and urgencies in which the prehospital emergency care was carried out by on-scene emergency medical service physicians (conventional care).
