AbstractIn German hospitals there is a growing need to offer a high quality in-hospital emergency care, because of the increasing age of the patients and to the shortening of hospital stay, as well as the increasingly complex medical procedures increases the risk of emergencies. The in-hospital emergency care should not be different from the pre-hospital emergency care concerning both the training of personnel, as well as the equipment of the team. The incidence of in-hospital emergencies or sudden cardiac arrest is not known for Germany, but the frequency in the hospitals of different levels of care differs. To ensure high quality in-hospital resuscitation and emergency treatment training and equipment of the emergency teams should be optimized and a comprehensive documentation and analysis tool should be established. For the latter task the German Resuscitation Registry will offer a high sophisticated in-hospital-emergency data collecting and analysis tool.© Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart · New York.
