The popularity of adventure recreation in wilderness areas across the world continues to increase. Nevertheless, the risk of injury and illness remains significant. The purpose of this study is to analyze the mountain rescue operations performed in Slovenia between 2011 and 2015.
This retrospective study reports mountain rescue operations documented by the Slovenian National Mountain Rescue Association. The annual number of ground-based and helicopter-based rescues were identified and compared. For 2015, the indication for rescue and the severity of injury were also analyzed, specifically for interventions requiring the use of a helicopter.
From 2011 through 2015, the number of rescues remained consistent with an annual average of 413 (SD ±15; range, 393-434) rescues. However, the percentage of ground-based rescues varied significantly year by year (P=0.016), with highest rate in 2014 (68%) and the lowest in 2015 (56%). In 2015, 434 mountain rescue operations were reported in Slovenia. Injury accounted for 44%, illness for 10%, and fatality for 9% of the rescues. In 37%, no illness or injury was reported. Helicopter rescue was used in 190 (44%) of all interventions. Among the 190 helicopter rescues, 49% of patients had nonfatal injuries, 29% required no medical treatment, 15% had illness, and 7% had fatal injuries.
A significant number of mountain rescue operations were conducted in Slovenia from 2011 through 2015. Most of these were needed for injured, ill, or deceased persons. A notable number of rescues in 2015 required a helicopter.
世界各地荒野地区冒险娱乐活动的受欢迎程度持续上升。然而，受伤和患病风险仍然很大。本研究的目的是分析2011年至2015年期间在斯洛文尼亚进行的山地救援行动。
这项回顾性研究报告了斯洛文尼亚国家山地救援协会记录的山地救援行动。确定并比较了地面救援和直升机救援的年度数量。对于2015年，还分析了救援指征和受伤严重程度，特别是对于需要使用直升机的干预措施。
从2011年到2015年，救援次数保持稳定，年平均为413次（标准差±15；范围为393 - 434次）。然而，地面救援的百分比逐年有显著差异（P = 0.016），2014年最高（68%），2015年最低（56%）。2015年，斯洛文尼亚报告了434次山地救援行动。受伤占救援的44%，患病占10%，死亡占9%。在37%的救援中，未报告疾病或受伤情况。在所有干预措施中，190次（44%）使用了直升机救援。在190次直升机救援中，49%的患者有非致命伤，29%不需要医疗治疗，15%患病，7%有致命伤。
2011年至2015年期间，斯洛文尼亚进行了大量山地救援行动。其中大多数是针对受伤、患病或死亡人员的。2015年有相当数量的救援需要直升机。
