Article Synopsis
- Air medical transport is crucial for emergency care, especially in remote regions like eastern Iran, where timely transfers of critically ill patients are essential.
- A retrospective study analyzed 252 helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) missions from 2021 to 2024, revealing a mean activation time of 9.14 minutes—far exceeding the national benchmark of 3 minutes—and an average prehospital transport time of 49.73 minutes.
- While HEMS activation time was slower than desired, it provided faster patient transport compared to ground ambulances, highlighting its efficiency in emergencies.
