The Flying Squad of the Accident and Emergency Department, of the Derbyshire Royal Infirmary, was established in 1955 by Collins. The initial function was to provide emergency care to victims of industrial accidents. However, the spectrum of emergencies they now respond to has expanded and includes predominantly road traffic accidents and medical emergencies. Despite the proliferation of Flying Squads their benefit has been difficult to quantify even in a trauma setting (Robertson & Steedman, 1985; Gorman & Coals, 1983). The outcome in medical emergencies is reported as dismal (Robertson & Steedman, 1985; Rowley & Collins, 1979) yet the number of calls for the flying squad to attend medical emergencies are many. Previous reports have recorded 20-30% of Squad calls responding to medical emergencies (Gorman & Coals, 1983; Rowley & Collins, 1979; Steedman & Robertson, 1986; Harrop & Bodiwala, 1983).
德比郡皇家医院急诊科的快速反应小组由柯林斯于1955年设立。其最初的职能是为工业事故受害者提供紧急护理。然而,他们现在应对的紧急情况范围已经扩大,主要包括道路交通事故和医疗紧急情况。尽管快速反应小组不断增加,但其益处即使在创伤环境中也难以量化(罗伯逊和斯蒂德曼,1985年;戈尔曼和科尔斯,1983年)。据报道,医疗紧急情况的结果很糟糕(罗伯逊和斯蒂德曼,1985年;罗利和柯林斯,1979年),但要求快速反应小组处理医疗紧急情况的呼叫却很多。此前的报告记录显示,快速反应小组接到的呼叫中有20%至30%是应对医疗紧急情况的(戈尔曼和科尔斯,1983年;罗利和柯林斯,1979年;斯蒂德曼和罗伯逊,1986年;哈罗普和博迪瓦拉,1983年)。
