Evaluation of practice in a mobile resuscitation unit, staffed routinely by anaesthetists, over a 3 month period is described. Of 200 calls attended, the doctor was considered to have played a necessary role in sixty-seven, and in seven patients the doctor's attendance was considered to have contributed significantly to the patient's survival.
