Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) in reducing mortality rates for patients in rural areas and assesses its impact on urban residents who are transferred by helicopter while in rural settings.
- A retrospective analysis of HEMS data from 1985 to 2022 revealed that about 10.76% of cases involved patients residing in urban areas near HEMS bases, with the majority (89.24%) coming from non-urban locations.
- The findings indicate that HEMS not only benefits rural residents but also serves urban individuals who may travel to or through rural regions, highlighting the broad impact of these services across various communities.
