Washington Post Articles on Helicopter Accidents.
If your read the time line article for Trooper 2 accident, patients would have arrived at the Level 1 Trauma center at the same time for both land ambulance and air helicopter ambulance. Given the bad weather conditions why do most state protocols allow helicopter transports in this scenario? :angry: IMHO state protocols need to be changed to allow land ambulances to transport to level 1 trauma centers even when the transport is out of that ambulance's normal operating boundary.
