[Management of acute vertigo and dizziness : Patients in emergency departments in Germany].

CONCLUSIONS: In acute vertigo syndromes, the ENT physician has a special role and responsibility in the interdisciplinary workup, since ontological disorders are the most common cause. In any case, an ENT consultation is recommended. In German emergency departments, otorhinolaryngologists use modern diagnostic tools and algorithms such as the video head pulse test and HINTS to objectify peripheral vestibulopathy or identify central causes. Thus, this is a contribution to improving medical care. PMID: 29500503 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
