The Evaluation of Patients Transported to a University Hospital Emergency Department with Air Ambulance

Abstract

Air rescue system are an important element of the pre-hospital emergency health care services. The aim of this study was to evaluate air ambulance services that are new for our region. Patients who were brought from the scene or any health center and those referred from our hospital within the last year were included to this prospective study. Data of patients were recorded and statistically compared. A total of 175 patients, of whom 137 patients referred to and 38 referred from Emergency Department (ED), were included in this study. Majority of the patients (62.8%) were male with a mean age of 31.7±26.0. When the times of arrival to the hospital were analyzed, patients were seen to be transferred in median 30 (min-max 4-139) minutes. When the results are examined, 50.3% of the patients were admitted to the hospital, 25.1% were referred to another health center, 21.7% were discharged and 2.9% were died. Helicopter ambulance plays an important role in the transfer of the critically-ill patients, providing a faster and efficient transport if the patients are selected.
