To profile casualties of UK remote and rural sport and recreation rescued by Mountain Rescue Teams (MRTs).
Anonymised data regarding non-fatal casualties recorded from 1 January 2002 to 31 December 2006 were retrieved from the Mountain Rescue Committees of Scotland and England and Wales.
Across the UK there were 6814 incidents involving 7995 people, including 550 fatal incidents. 3398 injured or ill casualties were assisted by rescue teams. Half of those rescued (50.7%) had no medical problems. 3152 casualty reports were available for analysis (Scotland 743, England and Wales 2409). The ages of those assisted ranged from 3 to 104 years, with a male predominance (60.8%). Hillwalking accounted for 75% of mountain rescues. More casualties were injured than ill (77.2% vs 10.4%). The injury reported most often was fracture (58.6%) and the lower extremity was most commonly injured (53%). Multiple injuries were relatively uncommon. The rescue scenarios in England and Wales and in Scotland were broadly similar. MRTs administered medication to more casualties in England and Wales (39.4% vs 14.5%). Helicopters assisted a greater proportion of casualties in Scotland (56.9% vs 40.5%).
Volunteer rescue teams assisted a wide range of casualties including some with serious multiple injuries. The nature of casualty rescues undertaken in Scotland was similar to that in England and Wales. The results have implications for UK-wide rescue team training, medical professionals receiving casualties and for outdoor education safety initiatives.
描述英国偏远和农村地区运动和娱乐相关事故中，由山地救援队（MRT）救援的伤员情况。
从苏格兰和英格兰威尔士山地救援委员会获取 2002 年 1 月 1 日至 2006 年 12 月 31 日期间记录的非致命性伤员匿名数据。
在英国，共有 6814 起事件涉及 7995 人，其中包括 550 起致命事件。有 3398 名受伤或患病的伤员得到了救援队的帮助。一半（50.7%）获救者没有医疗问题。有 3152 份伤员报告可用于分析（苏格兰 743 份，英格兰和威尔士 2409 份）。接受救援者的年龄范围为 3 至 104 岁，男性居多（60.8%）。登山徒步占山地救援的 75%。受伤人数多于患病人数（77.2%比 10.4%）。报告最多的受伤类型是骨折（58.6%），下肢最常受伤（53%）。多处受伤相对较少见。英格兰和威尔士与苏格兰的救援场景大致相似。英格兰和威尔士的山地救援队给更多伤员使用了药物（39.4%比 14.5%）。直升机在苏格兰协助了更多的伤员（56.9%比 40.5%）。
志愿救援队帮助了包括一些有严重多处受伤的伤员在内的各种伤员。苏格兰开展的伤员救援性质与英格兰和威尔士相似。研究结果对英国范围内的救援队培训、接收伤员的医疗专业人员以及户外教育安全倡议具有重要意义。
