This paper is dedicated to the pediatric emergency "disturbed consciousness and coma". It describes the prehospital management of disturbed consciousness in the pediatric age group. It is primarily meant as a practical guideline for the initial evaluation and treatment in the out-of-hospital setting. The interface between the emergency physician and the admitting emergency room is important; thus, specific recommendations are given concerning subsequent clinical care. The algorithm presented is designed for the emergency scenario "the unconscious child" or "the child with disturbed consciousness," which corresponds to all situations with a Glasgow Coma Scale score less than 15 points.
