“…More men (39) than women (21) were evacuated, and the patients were engaged in a variety of activities at the time of the injury or falling ill (Table 5). The median (quartiles) response time was 47 (33-62) min, including a median (quartiles) take-off time of 9 (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13) 14; autumn [September−November]: 13). More than one-third of the incidents occurred during the weekend, with the most on Saturdays (n¼14).…”

“…For this reason, the services of the helicopter rescue and search service are widely used. HEMS operations, aimed at saving human life, are based on increasing the number and continuous renewal of rescue helicopters [3][4][5][6][7]. This represents an increase in the financial burden on their operators.…”

“…In such "non-life threatening" cases, the take-off, rescue mission itself, and arrival of the helicopter and its crew back at the airbase is uneconomical (component life cycles, flight hours, time the rescue team was given to intervene, extension of convalescence and deployment options, etc.) and also non-ecological [3][4][5][6][7][8].…”

The task of increasing the accuracy and stabilization of the flight of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in the alpine environment is a complex problem. It is related to the evaluation of UAV flight parameters and control conditions for the operator’s place. The purpose of the UAV’s autonomous flight control is to ensure stable control of the UAV’s flight parameters. Flight control systems are affected by various disturbances caused by both internal and external conditions. In general, the number of autonomous control systems corresponds to the number of degrees of freedom, which determines the flight of an autonomous vehicle. An important factor in assessing the quality of such a UAV is its readiness for an autonomous flight together with the level of its safe guidance on the route. The presented article focuses on the analysis of UAV flight control and the quality of prediction and elimination of errors that exist during maneuvers toward the place of a successful UAV landing. The aim of the article is to point out the solvability of the complexities of such a flight procedure with the evaluation of the readiness for the descent phase of the autonomous UAV. The given problem is caused by the social demand for the creation of a way of providing health care in the mountain area of the High Tatras in Slovakia. The existing database of data obtained from the flying vehicles used in Slovakia was compared with the data obtained from the simulated flights, with their subsequent evaluation in the MATLAB software (Version R2021b) environment.

HEMS in Alpine Rescue for Pediatric Emergencies

Abstract: Rapid procedures are preferred to sustained on-scene treatment, particularly when surrounding conditions are hostile. HEMS emergency physicians attempt to keep on-site intervals short and treatment and monitoring to the essential to minimize delay in rescue.
