Recidivism in a helicopter emergency medical service
Air Medical Journal, 1993This study was designed to determine the frequency of recidivism (patients using a service more than once for the same or different disease episodes) in a helicopter emergency service, with the premise that high levels of recidivism may constitute grounds for improving quality of care or patient education programs.

Cricothyrotomy in Helicopter Emergency Medical Service Transport
Air Medical Journal, 2018Airway management is a requisite skill set for helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS) providers. Cricothyrotomy is a potentially lifesaving skill that is used when other airway maneuvers fail. The authors reviewed all transports by a helicopter program in which cricothyrotomy was performed to assess the frequency, success, and technique.This was a

Utilization prediction for helicopter emergency medical services
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1987As the number of helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) programs continues to expand rapidly, the need for an accurate, readily obtainable, inexpensive method of utilization prediction for these services has become apparent. Accurate volume and case mix prediction for these services are increasingly important as financial constraints become more ...

Helicopter Type and Accident Severity in Helicopter Emergency Medical Services Missions
Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine, 2011Whereas accident rates and fatal accident rates for Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) were investigated sufficiently, resulting consequences for the occupants remain largely unknown. The present study aimed to classify HEMS accidents in Germany to prognosticate accident severity with regard to the helicopter model used.German HEMS accidents (

Helicopter Emergency Medical Service Scene Communications Made Easy
Air Medical Journal, 2014Narrowbanding has caused numerous communication issues. The solution is to use a mutual aid frequency like 123.025. That frequency is 155.3400, and every helicopter emergency medical service operator and emergency medical service agency should name this frequency as "EMS [Emergency Medical Services] Mutual Aid" and preset this frequency for all ...

Pneumothorax Volume Expansion in Helicopter Emergency Medical Services Transport
Air Medical Journal, 2013In accordance with Boyle's law (as barometric pressure decreases, gas volume increases), thoracostomy is often recommended for patients with pneumothoraces before helicopter EMS (HEMS) transport. We sought to characterize altitude-related volume changes in a pneumothorax model, aiming to improve clinical decisions for preflight thoracostomy in HEMS ...
