Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) use in civilian medical transport has its roots in the use of rotor-wing trauma transport in the military setting. Much of the literature and evidence based on the use of HEMS is therefore related to scene and interfacility transport of injured patients. Regionalization of care and increased understanding of timecriticality of various non-trauma conditions has contributed to growing utilization of HEMS for non-trauma conditions over recent decades. It is common for HEMS to be utilized for a variety of non-trauma situations ranging from neonatal and obstetrics transports to cardiac and stroke transports. The purpose of this review is to overview the use of HEMS for non-trauma, focusing on situations in which there is evidence addressing possible HEMS utility.

“…Th e benefi ts of air transport have been demonstrated in studies to outweigh stressors that fl ying might add, even for the sickest trauma and, notably, patients suff ering from a myocardial infarction. (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13) The use of air medical services (AMS) has become an essential component of the healthcare system.

The use of air medical services (AMS) has become an essential component of the healthcare system. Appropriately used air medical critical care transport can save lives and reduce the cost of healthcare. It does so by minimizing the time the critically ill and injured spend out of a hospital, by bringing more medical capabilities to the patient than are normally provided by ground emergency medical services, and by helping get the patient to the appropriate specialty care quickly. Risk managers should be aware of the everyday decisions made in critical care transport to ensure the most appropriate utilization of resources to benefit the patient.
