Real-Time EMS Helicopter Video Feasibility Study, Final Contract Report.

摘要

The purpose of this project was to determine whether the use of ground-based video imaging by local rescue squad personnel and Pegasus medical staff is technically and organizationally feasible as a tool to improve pre-hospital care provided to crash victims. The available technology was rated against three criteria: (1) the video feed must be delayed by less than 60 seconds, (2) the picture quality must be adequate for remote evaluation of trauma, and (3) the signal must be secure to protect patient privacy.
