title: [Activities of mobile emergency units in Ghent].
abstract: We present here the analysis of the activities of the mobile intensive care unit of the university hospital of Ghent in 1984. The call for medical intervention from the unit originated in most cases from the 900 centre. Trauma and cardiac arrest were the most frequent reasons for intervention. The majority of the interventions of the mobile unit were needed for patients at home. These data illustrate the need for orienting the medical emergency care systems towards patients at home.
