Medical Directors of Critical Care Air Transport Services

Purpose: The practice of helicopter emergency medical services is variable in its mission profile, crew configuration, and transport capabilities. We sought to describe the characteristics of physician air medical directors in the United States.Methods: We surveyed medical directors concerning their education, training, transport experience, and roles/responsibilities in critical care air transport programs.Results: Two page surveys were mailed to 281 air medical services. Three programs merged or were dissolved. Data from 122/278 (43.9%) air medical directors were analyzed. One-hundred eleven respondents reported residency training in: Emergency Medicine (EM) 44 (39.6%), Internal Medicine (IM) 18 (16.2%), General Surgery (GS) 18 (16.2%), Family Practice (FP) 12 (10.8%), dual-trained (EM/IM, EM/FP, IM/FP) 11 (9.9%) and others 8 (7.2%). Medical directors’ roles/responsibilities consist, most frequently of: drafting protocols 108 (88.5%), QA/CQI activities 104 (85.3%), crew training 98 (80.3%), and administrative negotiations 95 (77.7%).

In early 2019 there was a very high increase in ticket prices. Ticket prices for domestic routes in Indonesia have not gone down, which is a complaint of consumers and make complaints to government agencies such as BPKN and YLKI. However, this has become the spotlight of the Minister of Transportation, raising the lower limit tariff, but this is actually considered ineffective because it can only protect airlines. This is considered to have violated consumer rights as stipulated in the UUPK. The issue of how the regulations and government policies in terms of tariff determination from the perspective of consumer protection and how the protection of consumer rights regarding the imposition of upper and lower limits of air transport services based on Law No. 8 of 1999. The author conducts research in this issue using normative methods supported by expert interview data. The author analyzes that this problem violates the consumer rights of Article 4 regulated by UUPK and analyzes from the Minister of Transportation Regulation PM 20 of 2019 concerning Procedures and Formulation of Calculation of Tariff Limit for Passengers in Economy Class Services for Scheduled Domestic Commercial Air Transport and Minister of Transportation Decree KM 106 of 2019 concerning the Tariff Limit on Passengers of Economy Class Scheduled Domestic Commercial Air Transport Services. The suggestion that can be given by the writer is that the ministry of transportation should oversee airlines in determining tariffs and services to remain balanced and not to the detriment of consumers.

Pressure Injury

BACKGROUNDThe US Air Force transports critically ill patients from all over the world, with transport times commonly ranging from 6 to 11 hours. Few outcome measures have been tracked for these patients. Traditional methods to prevent pressure injuries in civilian hospitals are often not feasible in the military transport environment.OBJECTIVESThe incidence rate and risk factors are described of en route–related pressure injuries for patients overseen by the Critical Care Air Transport Team.METHODSThis retrospective, case-control, medical records review investigated risk factors for pressure injury in patients who developed a pressure injury after their transport flight compared with those with no documented pressure injuries.RESULTSThe pressure injury rate was 4.9%. Between 2008 and 2012, 141 patients in whom pressure injuries developed and who had received care by the team were matched with 141 patients cared for by the team but did not have pressure injury. According to regression analysis, body mass index and 2 or more Critical Care Air Transport Team transports per patient were associated with pressure injury development.CONCLUSIONAlthough the pressure injury rate of 4.9% in this cohort of patients is consistent with that reported by civilian critical care units, the rate must be interpreted with caution, because civilian study data frequently represent the entire intensive care unit length of stay. Targeted interventions for patients with increased body mass index and 2 or more critical care air transports per patient may help decrease the development of pressure injury in these patients.

Air travel routes and high speed rail connection between Milan and Rome after the Alitalia crisis This paper analyses the first available data about changes in passenger traffic and air/rail fares after the Alitalia crisis and the substantial reduction of the travel time between Milan and Rome, due to the improvement of high speed rail on this connection. As recently happened in similar cases within Europe, the rail has gained a significant share of traffic previously attracted by air transport services. Apart from that, a real price competition is prevented by a number of inefficiencies which are mainly due to the monopolistic position of the new Alitalia on the route Milan Linate-Rome Fiumicino and problems of accessibility affecting our airports, and partly our rail stations too. The role of the various authorities potentially involved is burdened, in the last instance, by infrastructural deficiencies.
