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.

To analyze the distribution characteristics of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among the occupational population in China's key industries during the period from 2018 to 2023, and to provide data support for the formulation of targeted prevention strategies. Between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2023, a cross-sectional epidemiological survey and a retrospective investigation were conducted in seven geographical regions of North China, East China, Central China, South China, Southwest China, Northwest China, and Northeast China, using a combination of epidemiological cross-sectional and retrospective surveys. The industries were stratified according to the degree of closeness to WMSDs, the size of the occupational population, and the importance of the national economy, and then cluster sampling was conducted according to the size of the enterprises (large, medium, and small) within each stratum.
