Impaired Consciousness in the Emergency Department

Conclusions: This analysis demonstrates a large variety of etiologies in patients with unknown unconsciousness of acute onset who are admitted to an ED. As neurological diagnoses are among the most common etiologies, neurological qualification is required in the ED, and availability of diagnostics such as cerebral imaging is indispensable and recommended as an early step in a standardized clinical approach.Eur Neurol 2018;80:179 –186
