BACKGROUND Helicopters are widely used to facilitate the transport of trauma patients, from scene an incident hospital. However, use helicopters may not always be appropriate. The aim this project was conduct a geospatial analysis helicopter Level I center. METHODS Retrospective registry data, 2013 2018. We included all adult (≥16) patients brought center directly scene. Data were geocoded and analyzed using arcGIS. Drive times flight calculated Google Maps. Flight time required reach...
Trauma is a time-critical condition. Helicopters are thought to enhance the accessibility trauma centers, but this benefit poorly quantified. The aim of study was conduct geographical analysis added provided by helicopters, over ground transport. This uses geospatial analysis. Helicopter bases and Level I II designated centers were geocoded. 60-minute drive-time elliptical flight-time isochrones mapped with ArcGIS™ (Esri, Redlands, CA). Calculations included allowance for mission time (MGT)....
