Abstract
Helicopter transport has given rescue units a new, sophisticated support system unmatched by any other development in the past 10 years. Life Flight is the first helicopter service of its kind in this area (Nebraska), having been in operation since June 1979. Currently, flights directly to the scene of an accident at the request of a rescue unit account for approximately 15 percent of our transports. Our Life Flight staff has the luxury of enjoying a close, professional relationship with rescue departments within our service area. More times than not our scene transports are well organized and beneficial to the patients involved. We have found that organized, efficient air transport from the scene does require some prior knowledge of what the emergency medical system has to offer and how it works. Rescue squad members should be familiar with your service and your in order to be of optimum assistance to you, and you should be familiar with their routine in order to assist them.
