Abstract

A retrospective analysis of patients with serious yet substantially survivable injuries represented by ISS scores from 20 to 39 and whether or not survival was influenced by the use of helicopters is reported. It is concluded that there is no survival advantage in the helicopter transported group in an urban area with a sophisticated prehospital care system. Patients of rural origin deserve further study.
