To analyze the influence of drones equipped with thermal cameras for finding victims and aiding triage during disasters.
We carried out a prospective, cross-sectional analysis and 6 experimental simulations, each with 25 victims to locate and triage. Nurses were randomized to a control group or a drone group. Drone-group nurses were given access to images from the thermal cameras 10 minutes before the exercise started.
The mean (SD) distance the nurses searched in the control group (1091.11 [146.41] m) was significantly greater than the distance searched by nurses in the drone group (920 [ 71.93] m (P = .0031). The control group found a mean of 66.7% of the victims, a significantly smaller percentage than the drone group's mean of 92% (P = .0001). Triage quality (undertriage and overtriage) was similar in the 2 groups as shown by maneuvers undertaken to open airways and control bleeding.
Drones with thermal cameras were useful in searching for victims of simulated disasters in this study, although they had no impact on the quality of the nurses' triage.
分析配备热成像摄像头的无人机在灾难期间寻找受害者及协助分诊方面的影响。
我们进行了一项前瞻性横断面分析以及6次实验模拟,每次模拟有25名受害者需要定位和分诊。护士被随机分为对照组或无人机组。在演习开始前10分钟,无人机组的护士可以获取热成像摄像头拍摄的图像。
对照组护士搜索的平均(标准差)距离(1091.11 [146.41]米)显著大于无人机组护士搜索的距离(920 [71.93]米,P = .0031)。对照组找到的受害者平均比例为66.7%,显著低于无人机组的平均比例92%(P = .0001)。如为开放气道和控制出血所采取的操作所示,两组的分诊质量(分诊不足和分诊过度)相似。
在本研究中,配备热成像摄像头的无人机在搜索模拟灾难的受害者方面很有用,尽管它们对护士的分诊质量没有影响。
