Medical and Economical Effects by Introducing Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) in Toyama Prefecture, Japan
ConclusionBased on this study, HEMS of Toyama showed effective medical and economical effects. HEMS staff recognize that early treatments and rapid transports improve patient's outcome. In case of Toyama, HEMS staff effort to contact patients rapidly, and start critical treatments as soon as possible after arrival on scene, and to minimum the staying time. Moreover, all hospitals in Toyama receive patients for treating optimal care immediately along with patient's conditions. Those efforts could lead to the result.

HEMS Guidelines Utilization
ConclusionWe detected a significant difference between the number of cases meeting Wisconsin HEMS utilization versus NAEMSP guidelines, and between Wisconsin HEMS utilization and CAMTS guidelines in all subgroups except STEMI patients. No statistically significant difference existed between the NAEMSP guidelines and the CAMTS guidelines. Further study is required to examine the lack of agreement between guidelines to clearly identify patients that should be transported by HEMS.Figure 1Total number of charts reviewed, number of patients transported by Helicopter Emergency Medical Services and number of patients analyzed in each subgroup.

Helicopter Scene Response for Stroke Patients: A 5-Year Experience
Conclusion Using a 3-step EMS triage for acute CVA, air medical transport from the scene to a comprehensive stroke center allowed for the timely administration of tissue plasminogen activator and/or a neurointerventional procedure in a substantive percentage of patients. Further investigation into air medical scene response for acute stroke is warranted.
