Doctor helicopter’s hoped any role

Hello, everyone.

Today, I am going to about Doctor helicopter’s hoped any role. I am not good at English.

Therefore, I may use sometimes wrong English. But I do my best! Then I mainly speak about three roles.

First of all, Medical effectiveness

"The research report about the actual condition of the doctor helicopter in the 2004 fiscal year and evaluation" compared the actual gross result in the case corresponding to the doctor helicopter which was possible for gross result investigation, and the presumed gross result by inland water way conveyance. As a result, the patient made the rate which returns to work increase by 30% by using a doctor helicopter. And the sequel of the intermediary degree was decreased by 15%. The serious illness sequel was decreased by 47%. The vegetative state was decreased by 37%. Death was decreased by 27%.Since these results of researching are subjective investigation, there is a limit. However, if it is the conventional ambulance conveyance, 27% of life of the patient who had died will be saved. And it is thought that 45% of aftereffects of the patients who could not avoid serious aftereffects were reduced. That is, the validity of the doctor helicopter was proved. That is, the start of the quick respiratory circulation management from the spot by the flight doctor and a flight nurse improves a very critical trauma patient's morbidity. And it became clear to have made possibility of survival high and to have carried the patient to the hospital. In other words, the doctor helicopter improved the quality of prehospital care and has improved the gross result of carry cases.

Secondly, the reduction effect of future earnings

According to researching, the future-earnings evasion effect of the whole doctor helicopter enterprise was calculated as 4,580 million yen. That is, it became clear that the effect which a doctor helicopter that has the rapidity and mobility has extended to reduction in a death rate or not only mitigation of aftereffects but also reduction of social cost.

Thirdly, shortening of duration of hospitalization and reduction effect of medical expenses

For 70 traffic accident patients carried at the Nippon Medical School Chiba north total hospital were computed the injury severity score (ISS), the physiological severity-of-illness score (RTS), and the rate (TRISS) of prediction lifesaving. After adjusting the background factor, the doctor helicopter conveyance group and the ambulance conveyance group compared the number of days in the hospital and a medical treatment fee. As a result, doctor helicopter conveyance shortened the number of days in the hospital for about 17 days compared with ambulance conveyance. And about 110,000 hospitalization mark became low. That is, introduction of the doctor helicopter suggested that the medical expenses to a traffic accident patient may be reduced.
