Abstract
|
|
|
This analysis is accomplished by using 331 rescue and medical evacuation cases performed by KangWonDo Fire Service Department Aviation(KFSA 119 Heicopters) between Jan. 1998 and Oct. 2002.
By analysing injury causes, annual differences, sexual, scenic(locational) distribution and wounded part distribution, this study tried to figure out the general tendency of the helicopter-transported patients in Korea.
The results are as follows:
1. The whole population of the patients rescued and transported by helicopters is increasing by the annual rate of 150％∼200％.
2. For the locational(scenic) distribution of the patients, 57％(190 cases) of the target population were injured on their mountain-climbing or tracking.
3. 12％(41 cases) of the target population were the Inter-Hospital transport cases.
4. 5％(16 cases) were the expired cases.
5. for the wounded part distribution, 46％(106 cases) were muscular skeletal injuries.
6. The aircraft and personnel of the KFSA were rescue-oriented, so for the EMS operations especially inter-hospital transport missions, different medical equipments and personnels are needed.
