Effect of case identification changes on pre‐hospital intubation performance indicators in an Australian helicopter emergency medical service
Time from emergency call to intubation was significantly shorter in the HEMS screening period where all non-trapped cases less than 50 km distant were intubated within the 45-min benchmark. There was no distance where intubation within 45 min could be assured for non-trapped patients in the central control period due to dispatch delays.
