Characteristics, management and outcome of prehospital pediatric emergencies by a Dutch HEMS

Michelle Berdien Oude Alink et al.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed 1905 pediatric patients under 17 years old who received medical care by Rotterdam HEMS from 2012 to 2017. The findings revealed that a high proportion of interventions like intubation and CPR were required for critically injured or ill children receiving prehospital care.

Airway management in a Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS): a retrospective observational study of 365 out-of-hospital intubations

Urs Pietsch et al.

Summary: The study found that in helicopter emergency medical services, the success rate of intubation is lower, and a certain percentage of patients experience difficulties in airway management. Differences in the frequency and methods of airway maneuvers between anesthesiologists and paramedics were observed.

Five-year audit of adherence to an anaesthesia pre-induction checklist

A. Fuchs et al.

Summary: Despite improvements in patient safety related to airway management, there are still life-threatening events. This audit investigated adherence to an airway checklist at an institution from 2016 to 2021. Over the 5 years, there was an increase in adherence to the checklist, although areas for improvement were identified.

Helicopter inter-hospital transfer for patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: a retrospective 12-year analysis of a service system

Alexander Fuchs et al.

Summary: This retrospective observational study investigated adverse events and survival of ECMO patients transported by helicopter from 2009 to 2021. The results showed that all patients survived the helicopter transport without harm. Adverse events occurred in approximately 20% of the missions, with a higher frequency during night-time flights. After 28 days, over half of the patients (54.8%) were still alive.

Transport of the patient with trauma: a narrative review

E. J. Spoelder et al.

Summary: Trauma and injury pose a significant burden on healthcare systems, and most high-income countries have developed well-established acute pre-hospital and trauma care systems. In Europe, mobile physician-staffed medical teams provide life-saving interventions and ensure patient comfort for severely injured patients. Pre-hospital care in trauma systems involves early medical interventions without delaying definitive care. The mode of transport from the accident scene depends on the healthcare system's organization and the level of hospital care. Avoiding secondary transport to a higher level of care is crucial to prevent delays in definitive care.

Prehospital time intervals and management of ischemic stroke patients*,**

Timmy Li et al.

Summary: The study aimed to quantify prehospital time intervals, describe prehospital stroke management, and estimate potential time saved if certain procedures were performed en route to the emergency department. It was found that performing glucose assessments, vascular access initiations, and ECG acquisitions en route rather than on-scene can reduce on-scene time.

Prehospital time and mortality in polytrauma patients: a retrospective analysis

E. Berkeveld et al.

Summary: This analysis examined the association between prehospital time and mortality in polytrauma patients at a Dutch level I trauma center. The study found no significant difference in prehospital time between the surviving and non-surviving patient groups, indicating no association between prehospital time and mortality in polytrauma patients. Further research is recommended to explore factors that may influence prehospital time and mortality.

In-cabin rapid sequence induction Experience from alpine air rescue on reduction of the prehospital time

Juergen Knapp et al.

Summary: The survival of severely injured individuals depends on rapid and efficient prehospital treatment. In certain cases, conducting anesthesia induction and airway management in the cabin of a rescue helicopter may help reduce prehospital time. However, this procedure should only be carried out by trained teams following a clear standard operating procedure.

Association Between Dispatch of Mobile Stroke Units and Functional Outcomes Among Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke in Berlin

Martin Ebinger et al.

Summary: Dispatch of mobile stroke units before arrival at the hospital is associated with lower levels of global disability at 3 months for patients with acute ischemic stroke, indicating the potential benefit of this approach in improving clinical outcomes. Further research in diverse settings is warranted to confirm these findings.

Analgesia in pediatric trauma patients in physician-staffed Austrian helicopter rescue: a 12-year registry analysis

Christopher Rugg et al.

Summary: This study analyzed data from 14 physician-staffed helicopter bases in Austria and found that pediatric trauma patients in helicopter emergency medical systems receive opioid and Esketamine analgesia. Despite incomplete evaluation of pain relief efficacy, severe side effects during transport were rare.

Helicopter emergency medical service for time critical interfacility transfers of patients with cardiovascular emergencies

Lorenz Meuli et al.

Summary: This study assessed the duration and distance of critically ill patients with cardiovascular emergencies transferred from smaller hospitals to major medical centres in Switzerland via helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS). The findings indicate that HEMS is expected to be faster if the road distance exceeds 51.3 km, highlighting the importance of time-sensitive interfacility transfers in medical emergencies.

Felix Marius Blaesius et al.

Summary: The study found that HEMS transport provides a significant survival benefit for severely injured pediatric patients aged 1-15 years, and pediatric trauma patients treated at level II or III trauma centers have higher in-hospital mortality risks compared to those at level I trauma centers.

Incidence and challenges of helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS) rescue missions with helicopter hoist operations: analysis of 11,228 daytime and nighttime missions in Switzerland

Urs Pietsch et al.

Summary: During the study period, the majority of HEMS missions with HHO and HEC were conducted during the day, while nighttime missions, trauma diagnosis, intubation on-site, and NACA Score >= 4 were associated with longer mission times. Medical interventions such as insertion of intravenous access and administration of analgesia were common during daytime HHO missions where nearly 20% of patients required complex interventions before the hoist procedure.
