Abstract 1: Analysis of the Usage of a Portable X-Ray System Transported to the Scene by a Physician-Staffed Helicopter

ConclusionThis is the first study to demonstrate that the performance of X-ray studies at the scene did not significant influence the activities of DH staff and to demonstrate that X-ray studies were performed significantly more frequently when a DH was dispatched to the scene. Future prospective studies involving a greater number of patients and a comparison of the final outcomes are needed.
