The medical benefits of nighttime missions by one single helicopter emergency medical service for trauma patients in the Netherlands are probably outweighed by the high risk for the crew and the general obstacles to nighttime flight operations. It is doubtful whether one nighttime trauma helicopter will have a favourable effect on the morbidity and mortality due to major trauma in the Netherlands. However, extending the role of regional centres in pre-hospital emergency medicine could be an approach to achieving long-term improvements in trauma care.
在荷兰,单一直升机紧急医疗服务执行夜间任务给创伤患者带来的医疗益处,可能被机组人员面临的高风险以及夜间飞行操作的普遍障碍所抵消。一架夜间创伤直升机是否会对荷兰因重大创伤导致的发病率和死亡率产生有利影响,这值得怀疑。然而,扩大区域中心在院前急诊医学中的作用可能是实现创伤护理长期改善的一种途径。
