Characteristics of Nontrauma Scene Flights for Air Medical Transport
Conclusion The use of air transport for nontraumatic emergencies varied considerably between various air transport programs and regions. More research is needed to evaluate which nontraumatic emergencies benefit from air transport. National guidelines regarding the use of air transport for nontraumatic emergencies are needed.

Activation Intervals for a Helicopter Emergency Medical Service in Japan
Abstract: Introduction: Prehospital time is crucial for treating acute disease; therefore, it is important to activate helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) promptly. We investigated the differences in the activation intervals (the time elapsed from receiving the emergency call to the time of HEMS request) under various conditions to evaluate the current status of HEMS-related prehospital triage in Japan. Methods: We retrospectively investigated activation intervals under exogenous (trauma, n = 553; intoxication, n = 56; and burns, n = 32) and endogenous conditions (acute coronary syndrome [AC...

A 32-year-old woman with several days of vomiting consumed 1 dose of promethazine for symptomatic relief. Soon thereafter, she presented to a rural emergency department with nausea, vomiting, headache, slurred speech, and right-sided upper- and lower-extremity weakness. The initial clinical impression was that of a dystonic reaction for which she received the appropriate therapy for the suspected condition. When her symptoms did not improve, she was transferred by ground ambulance to a large community hospital where she was diagnosed by brain magnetic resonance imaging and carotid magnetic resonance angiography with a mass...
