Helicopter Emergency Medical Services attendance is associated with favourable survival outcomes in major trauma: derivation and internal validation of prediction models in a regional trauma system

HEMS attendance to major trauma in this regional service was associated with survival exceeding case-mix adjusted predictions, and was most pronounced in severely injured patients. PHEA was associated with survival benefit in low probability patients, supporting the value of advanced pre-hospital interventions.

Abstract

HEMS attendance to major trauma in this regional service was associated with survival exceeding case-mix adjusted predictions, and was most pronounced in severely injured patients. PHEA was associated with survival benefit in low probability patients, supporting the value of advanced pre-hospital interventions.
