Abstract
BackgroundData are scarce about the possible role for the general practitioner (GP) in patients with decreased consciousness (DC) or coma. We wanted to investigate how often a GP is confronted with DC or coma during out-of-hours service in an urban region and to compare the patients presented to primary care to those who were immediately treated by the emergency medical services (EMS).
