Doctorate Title: Differences in Mortality and Morbidity in Patients Suffering a Time-critical Condition Between Ground EMS and HEMS.
Doctorate Description: Patients suffering a time-critical medical condition require rapid prehospital assessment and treatment and most often rapid transportation to definitive care. The aim is to describe differences in mortality, morbidity, assessment and treatment of two time-critical conditions, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and acute myocardial infarction (MI), in patients assessed by GEMS and HEMS respectively. The project consists of a descriptive observational study and comparative cohort study. Inclusion criteria are patients considered to be suffering from TBI and acute MI, which are treated by GEMS or HEMS in the Swedish regions of Uppsala, Jämtland/Härjedalen and Dalarna. The results are anticipated to serve as a basis for additional research aimed at optimizing the use of GEMS and HEMS.
