[Chinese expert consensus on the process of 5G+ helicopter aviation medical rescue (2024 edition)].

To address the lagging status of aviation medical rescue in China compared to developed countries, the focus is on critical weaknesses such as the inadequate aviation rescue communication network and communication technology. The team has established an efficient network among rescue helicopters, emergency centers, and hospitals using 5G technology, achieving millisecond-level speed and real-time data transmission. The Professional Committee of Emergency Resuscitation and Disaster Medicine of Chinese Medical Doctor Association integrated emergency experts, medical institutions, and emergency rescue teams to jointly draft Chinese expert consensus on 5G+ helicopter aviation medical rescue (2024 edition). The consensus recommends the widespread application of 5G technology in aviation medical rescue, utilizing 5G technology for warning and dispatch during the initiation of aviation medical rescue, and using 5G technology for real-time transmission of vital signs and high-definition videos to emergency centers and receiving hospitals during rescue operations and flight. Successful cases fully demonstrate the potential of 5G technology in aviation medical rescue. The consensus aims to standardize and guide 5G+ helicopter medical rescue, ultimately achieving the goal of patients being "admitted upon boarding".
