直升机紧急护理增强了英格兰东南部创伤患者的生存能力,每年挽救约115条生命,尽管联合王国的地区差距持续存在。 Helicopter emergency care boosts survival for trauma patients in southeast England, saving about 115 lives yearly despite ongoing UK regional disparities.

在英格兰东南部进行的一项研究将直升机紧急医疗服务连接起来,以改善主要创伤病人的生存,85%的患者存活30天,比预期比率高出5%,每年挽救约115人生命。 A study in South East England links helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) to improved survival for major trauma patients, with 85% surviving 30 days—5% above expected rates, saving about 115 lives annually. 对中度或低度预计存活的病人,特别是较年轻的病人和初次格拉斯哥Coma等级分数较高的病人,其福利最大。 Benefits were greatest for patients with moderate or low predicted survival, especially younger patients and those with higher initial Glasgow Coma Scale scores. 医院前紧急麻醉以及运输期间自发性循环的日益恢复,都带来了更好的结果。 Pre-hospital emergency anaesthesia and increasing return of spontaneous circulation during transport were associated with better outcomes. 尽管自2009年以来在HEMS的可用性方面取得了进展,但在全天候提供全天候服务、人员配备、高级治疗和资金方面,联合王国各地仍然存在巨大的区域差异,大多数服务依赖慈善支助,只有一个完全由政府供资的服务。 Despite progress in HEMS availability since 2009, significant regional disparities remain across the UK in 24/7 access, staffing, advanced treatments, and funding, with most services relying on charitable support and only one fully government-funded.
