Abstract in brief

  • The study compares helicopter versus ground transport of pediatric trauma patients, finding that while helicopter transport is associated with more urgent and emergent procedures, many patients did not require these interventions, indicating potential overuse.
  • Patients transported by helicopter had higher injury severity scores and lower Glasgow Coma Scale scores, but a significant portion of them had mild injuries (ISS of 15 or less), suggesting that helicopters may be used even when not critically necessary.
  • The findings suggest that interfacility helicopter transport might be overutilized for pediatric trauma cases, as many patients transported by air did not need emergent procedures, raising questions about resource use and optimal transportation methods.
