Resuscitation Decisions in the Emergency Department (ED)

The investigators will retrospectively examine the connection between resuscitation decisions of admitted patients at the ED of the University Hospital of Basel and several demographic and health related measures. Additionally there will be an examination, which patient characterestics may have lead to patients not having been asked about resuscitation decisions.
