Download or read book Aeromedical Transportation written by T. Martin and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Still the only book published anywhere in the world which is devoted entirely to the principles of aeromedical transport, Aeromedical Transportation has rightly become known as the sole reference for the industry. This second edition has been radically revised and updated; featuring the latest research, updated references and new chapters on the transport of intensive care patients, and medical emergencies/death in flight. Since the first edition was published in 1996, the concept of 'evidence-based medicine' has been accepted as essential in any book which endeavours to be the accepted knowledge base in its subject area. A very practical text, international in its approach, much of its content is devoted to clinical matters. Administration and organisation are also discussed, but are addressed from the standpoint of the clinical aeromedical escort. The text is suitable for medical, paramedical and nursing personnel and for those working in organizations whose duties include the transportation of the sick and injured by air.

Download or read book Aviation Safety Potential Strategies to Address Air Ambulance Safety Concerns written by Gerald Lee Dillingham and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air ambulance transport is widely regarded as improving the chances of survival for trauma victims and other critical patients. However, recent increases in the number of air ambulance accidents have led to greater industry scrutiny by gov¿t. agencies, the public, the media, and the industry itself. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and others have called on the FAA, which provides safety oversight, to issue more stringent safety requirements for the industry. This testimony discusses: (1) recent trends in the air ambulance industry with regard to its size, composition, and safety record; (2) recent industry and gov¿t. efforts to improve air ambulance safety; and (3) potential strategies for improving air ambulance safety.

Download or read book Aeronautical Decision making for Air Ambulance Administrators written by Richard J. Adams and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual discusses five of the most critical administrative aeronautical decision areas. The treatment is brief to ensure that the important, basic limits will be read and understood by the largest possible audience. The concerns are: Accident characteristics, Pilot characteristics, Weather restrictions, Training needs, and Risk management. Each of these concerns is discussed in a summary format. The summaries begin with a concise statement of the problem. This statement is followed by a discussion of the governing regulations, an explanation of the underlying reasons for the limitation, and recommended solutions an administrator could implement to reduce the impact of, or eliminate, the risk. This summary material is supplemented by appropriate references for use by the reader who would like to explore one or more of these areas in greater detail. This administrators' manual is one of an integrated set of five Aeronautical Decisionmaking manuals developed by the Federal Aviation Administration in a concerted effort to reduce the number of human factor related helicopter accidents. It can be used as one element of a comprehensive program for improving safety, reducing risk and, hopefully, the high cost of helicopter hull and liability insurance. Keywords: Human factors; Aviation safety; Judgment; Helicopter pilot. (kr).

Download or read book Emergency Medical Services written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-06-03 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is a critical component of our nation's emergency and trauma care system, providing response and medical transport to millions of sick and injured Americans each year. At its best, EMS is a crucial link to survival in the chain of care, but within the last several years, complex problems facing the emergency care system have emerged. Press coverage has highlighted instances of slow EMS response times, ambulance diversions, trauma center closures, and ground and air medical crashes. This heightened public awareness of problems that have been building over time has underscored the need for a review of the U.S. emergency care system. Emergency Medical Services provides the first comprehensive study on this topic. This new book examines the operational structure of EMS by presenting an in-depth analysis of the current organization, delivery, and financing of these types of services and systems. By addressing its strengths, limitations, and future challenges this book draws upon a range of concerns: • The evolving role of EMS as an integral component of the overall health care system. • EMS system planning, preparedness, and coordination at the federal, state, and local levels. • EMS funding and infrastructure investments. • EMS workforce trends and professional education. • EMS research priorities and funding. Emergency Medical Services is one of three books in the Future of Emergency Care series. This book will be of particular interest to emergency care providers, professional organizations, and policy makers looking to address the deficiencies in emergency care systems.
