Abstract

The article examines the connection between the use of helicopter versus ground emergency medical services and survival among adults with serious traumatic injuries. A retrospective cohort study was conducted among 223,475 patients who were transported by helicopter or ground emergency services to level I or level II trauma centers in order to assess their survival to hospital discharge and discharge disposition. The study revealed that improved survival to hospital discharge after controlling for multiple known confounders is associated with the transport by helicopter compared with ground services.
