| Abstrakt: | Objective: Characterization of medical emergencies of patients with psychiatric symptoms or in psychosocial crisis. Methods: Analysis of emergency medical services (EMS) mission logs from four German EMS stations of patients aged 12-65 from 2019 to 2020. Results: 23.4% of missions involved patients with psychiatric or psychosocial symptoms (1.6% psychotic, 3.0% suicidal, 7.1% psychosocial crisis, 15.7% intoxicated). On average, these patients were younger than those with other symptoms. 48.9% exhibited additional somatic complaints. The COVID-19 pandemic showed only little impact on the frequency of such emergencies. Conclusion: Psychiatric and psychosocial symptoms account for a significant proportion of rescue missions in our sample. Managing psychiatric and psychosocial emergencies should be an integral part of the training of medical and paramedical staff.
