Synkope oder „… auf einmal war ich weg“

Das Krankheitssyndrom „Synkope“ beinhaltet als „Leitsymptom: vorübergehende Bewusstlosigkeit“ die gemeinsame Endstrecke unterschiedlicher Erkrankungen. Zentrale Aufgabe des notfallmedizinischen Erstversorgers ist es, die notwendigen Untersuchungen zu initiieren, das Risiko abzuschätzen, die Ursache zu klären und gefährdete Patienten der weiteren, meist stationären Abklärung/Therapie zuzuweisen. Patienten mit niedrigem Risiko können ambulant weiterversorgt werden.
