ER vs helicopter times to doctor

[Guest guest]

All of this discussion makes me curious about several factors about txp times

and evaluation times to an ER physician. Does it vary between helicopter vs.

Ground at door time? Does the initial report have an outcome on the patient

outcome? Is there any studies to support any findings? What life saving

interventions can be done by air ems vs a competent ground medic, with time

being a factor? I know that over utilization of helicopters has been beaten to

death.... I however want to know if we are using them more because we are afraid

of pt presintation vs actual skill and training of a paramedic vs actual time to

envasive treatment.

I am always trying to learn from other people and this seems to be a vast wealth

of knowledge that is readily avalible.

Forgive me for my gramatical errors.
