Why Are Air Medical Helicopters Sometimes Used After Serious Traffic Accidents?
Air medical helicopters are usually requested when a person has injuries that may require rapid transport to a specialized trauma center. In some cases, distance, traffic congestion, or the need for advanced medical care can make air transport the fastest option available.
Medical crews evaluate several factors before a helicopter is used. These may include the seriousness of a person’s injuries, the availability of nearby hospitals, and travel times by ground ambulance. Helicopters can also provide advanced medical support during the flight.
Not every serious roadway collision results in an air medical transport. The decision is typically based on patient needs and the circumstances at the time. When a helicopter is requested, it usually indicates that medical personnel believe rapid access to higher-level care may be beneficial.
