The difference from a fire-fighting disaster-prevention helicopter

Hello, everyone.

Today, I am going to about the difference from a fire-fighting disaster-prevention helicopter.

The emergency number which the fire-fighting disaster prevention helicopter which is all over the country 70 sets mobilized during 2006 is 2,775 affairs. They are increasing every year. However, a detached island and remote medical conveyance are also included in these, and it is not utilized only for emergency business. There are differences among four in a doctor helicopter and a fire-fighting disaster-prevention helicopter.

First of all, Body and equipmentThe body of a fire-fighting disaster prevention helicopter is large-sized, or a medium size. The body of a doctor helicopter is small to it. Therefore, the downwash and noise with the direction of a doctor helicopter for noise taking off and landing are hurt small, and are suitable for taking off and landing all over the ground and town of a school. However, a passenger is restricted to 6～7 persons, and it cannot carry many goods. On the other hand, a fire-fighting disaster prevention helicopter embarks many medical staffs and sick persons. Or it is suitable for carrying much medical equipment and carrying out broader-based conveyance. Moreover, since a doctor helicopter is a helicopter only for emergency, it is possible to always carry emergency care apparatus and to be quickly mobilized when requesting. However, since it does not have the equipment for rescue and has not trained, either, it cannot respond to the rescue case in a mountains place. On the other hand, a fire-fighting disaster prevention helicopter is a multiuse machine, and training of the boarding staff's hoist descent, lifting of the sick person on a stretcher, etc. is also performing it daily. Therefore, big power is demonstrated on the occasion of the rescue case in a mountains place. However, since it is necessary to exchange equipment if the request of emergency mobilization enters in the state where emergency equipment is not carried out, mobility and quick nature are missing.

Secondly, the waiting position of a helicopter

The waiting position of a fire-fighting disaster-prevention helicopter is a flying corps base or an airfield. A doctor helicopter is a heliport in a hospital site.

Thirdly, The crew

A flying corps member, rescuers, a firefighter of a fire-fighting disaster-prevention helicopter are at the core. For some rescue parties, a paramedic may board as the staff. However, the doctor has not boarded. In order to make a doctor ride together, after taking up a doctor toward a hospital first, the system which goes to the spot is adopted.

　　　　In addition mobilization organization

There are six features in a fire-fighting disaster-prevention helicopter. ①The aviation fire companies with whom a doctor rides are 25 parties. ②Even if it is an aviation fire company of a disaster prevention helicopter with whom a doctor rides, the doctor always is not securable.③The party which is the organization which can carry out communication directly to a critical care center from the inside of a plane is only twenty percent.④If the helicopter mobilization instructions for less than 5 minutes are possible from reception, it is possible to receive a patient to a hospital about 30 minutes after reception.⑤75% of the aviation fire companies of a disaster prevention helicopter with whom a doctor does not ride have the problem of prolonged conveyance of an ambulance.⑥In the aviation fire company of a disaster prevention helicopter with whom a doctor does not ride, the number of cases which hospital conveyance by an ambulance took 30 minutes or more goes up also to an average of 40% in the rate which accounts for all the emergency mobilization numbers. On the other hand, the doctor helicopter is enabling the medical treatment start at the spot within 15 minutes after a mobilization request. Thus, that it is in quick mobilization organization can say that it has led to the increase in the on-site mobilization number of a doctor helicopter. However, although all doctor helicopters are operations in the daytime, some fire-fighting disaster prevention helicopters operate also at night.

I am going to talk about doctor helicopter’s hoped any role next time.See you again.
