- BackgroundPatient with dizziness are challenging in prehospital care. The aim was to describe final diagnosis among patients assessed by EMS as suffering from dizziness with focus on time-critical conditions.MethodsConsecutive patients assessed by an EMS clinician during 12 months in a single large EMS system in Gothenburg, Sweden (660,000 inhabitants), were assessed. The study comprised patients given ESS code 11 dizziness. The main end-point was the final diagnosis (ICD code).ResultsThere were 58,575 primary missions, of which 2,048 (3.5%) were assessed as ESS code 11 (dizziness). Of these, 161 (8%) were excluded. Among the remaining 1887 cases, there were 230 different ICD codes and 96 (5%) had a time-critical condition. The majority (88%) had a cerebrovascular disease. The most typical symptoms among time-critical conditions were an acute onset (63%) and nausea, vomiting (61%). When compared with non-time-critical conditions, those with time-critical conditions were older and had a higher median systolic blood pressure at EMS arrival.ConclusionAmong primary missions by the EMS, 3.5% had dizziness. Of these, 5% had a time-critical condition and the majority had a cerebrovascular disease. Instruments to identify time-critical conditions among patients seen by EMS due to dizziness are required.
