pubmed:abstractText |
The benefit of the Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) is not well documented. The aim of our study was to investigate the potential health benefits of HEMS, and their relation to cost of the service in a rural area in Finland. We also evaluated whether the patient benefit is due to early Advanced Life Support (ALS) procedures performed on-scene, or due to rapid transport of patients to definitive care.
