Objective: To determine the characteristics of neurology cases in the ER Sanglah Hospital who underwent an emergency call period from January 2016 to 2018. Material and Methods: This research is a descriptive cross-sectional study using secondary data. This study is total sampling method. The study used a questionnaire, data obtained from all cases of neurology who underwent an emergency call within the study period recorded in the emergency call register. Descriptive analysis using SPSS 21.00 for windows. Results: Samples obtained in 76 cases. The majority of cases in this study were men (n=40, 52.6%) and the mean age of all cases was 55.05 (± 15.23). The major cases are reported hemorrhagic stroke (n=40, 52.6%), intracranial infection (n=10, 13.2%), ischemic stroke (n=9, 11.8%), epilepsy (n=3, 3.9%), and malignancy (n=3, 3.9%). Most cases had a secondary diagnosis that accompanied the primary diagnosis (n=54, 71.1%). The mean duration of treatment in the emergency room before an emergency call (pre rhesus call) was 308 (± 629.99) minutes. The mean duration of treatment in the emergency department after an emergency call (post rhesus call) was 540 (± 766.1) minutes. The dominant case outcome was death (n = 68, 89.5%). Conclusion: The most common cases undergoing emergency calls are a hemorrhagic stroke, intracranial infection, ischemic stroke, epilepsy, and malignancy.
