Does physician-staffed emergency helicopter reduce transportation time from alarm call to highly specialized centre?
Using HEMS reduced time to arrival at a highly specialized centre for patients with STEMI or severe injury. Simultaneous dispatch of an ambulance and HEMS shows potential for further reduction in the time-to-centre and the time-to-doctor.
Our findings imply that COX-2 and its signaling pathway may provide a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of NSCLC.
