“…In the study of Olia et al (2002) which conducted in Italy, they reported that 17% of all ambulance calls were due to trauma. It was reported in a study that trauma cases constitutes 41% of all emergency patient transports in Norway in 2001 (Langhelle et al, 2004). Despite regional variations, the rate of hospital referral due to trauma which ranges from 17 to 41% was found to be 30.12% in our study (1029 patients).…”

“…In a study which involves various age groups in Sweden, cardiac causes (12%) were most frequent among all emergency cases (Hjalte et al, 2007). In a study conducted in Norway, trauma (41%) and cardiac problems (27%) were found to be most frequent reasons for emergency referrals (Langhelle et al, 2004). In a similar study conducted in Italy, respiratory distress (16.7%), loss of consciousness (16.6%) and chest pain (11.8%) were found to be most frequent reasons among all emergency calls (Olia et al, 2002).…”

Article HistoryReceived 01 / 04 / 2014 Accepted 11 / 06 / 2014The coordination between pre-hospital emergency health service and emergency department is one of the major indicators of the quality of emergency services. This coordination heavily depends on the appropriate patient referrals made by 112 command and control centers. The aim of this study is to examine the collaboration and coordination between emergency departments and 112 Command and Control Center in such regions where there are more than one hospital. Computer-based medical records of the patients who were transported to Isparta State Hospital Emergency Medicine Clinic via 112 emergency call and rescue ambulances were retrospectively analyzed in this descriptive study. The number of patients transported to emergency department via 112 emergency ambulance service accounts for 5.73% of all patients (59616) referred to our emergency department in the same period. Among the consultations requested, while neurology department ranked first with a total of 316 consultations (20.4%), consultation with department of ophthalmology was only 4 (0.2%). In order to achieve a good coordination between hospitals and 112 Command and Control Center, the same form should be used in the period from hospital admission to the end of the treatment.

“…Tendenziell zeichnet sich jedoch eine Annäherung der beiden Standpunkte ab: Ursprünglich rein "Paramedicsorientierte" Emergency-Medical-Service(EMS)-Einrichtungen akzeptieren angesichts der aktuellen Datenlage medizinischen Wissens zunehmend den Stellenwert frühzeitiger notärztlicher Maßnahmen [2,5,7] und erweiterten die Notfallteams um qualifizierte Ärz-te für ausgewählte Indikationen. Diese kommen entweder durch Einsatz von Notarzthubschraubern [5] oder auch bodengebunden mittels "Mobile Intensive Care Units" [7] als Unterstützung für die Paramedics zum Einsatz. Als Beispiel sei hier London erwähnt, wo vor mehr als 40 Jahren die Paramedics erfunden wurden und nun seit rund 10 Jahren auch Notärzte nach strengem Indikationsprofil für hochspezifische notärztliche Maßnahmen eingesetzt werden.…”

“…Today, the demand for the centralization of EMS and the physician-on-board idea seems to have returned, 9,10 mainly in countries facing geographical or climatic difficulties. 11 The discipline of on-site emergency medicine was called "oxyology" in Hungary.…”
