Evaluating the benefits of helicopter transport for critical care patients

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study examines the effectiveness of mobile intensive care units operating from rescue helicopters in Auvergne, France. It focuses on the care provided by a complete medical team during both primary rescue operations and secondary patient transfers between hospitals. Data will be collected through a REDCap® questionnaire assessing various factors such as the type of medical care, intervention times, patient demographics, and the stress levels of emergency physicians involved in the transport. The goal is to understand how this method of transport impacts patient outcomes and the efficiency of emergency medical services.
