JBJason W. Brown RRRenu Riat LLLiling Lu

Key Points

The aim is to create a consensus definition for air medical transport need following rural injuries.
Conducted a Delphi survey to gather expert opinions on air medical transport need.
Analyzed responses to establish a unified definition that can be used in triage.
Identified potential barriers to implementation of the triage tool.
Developed a clear definition of air medical transport need for trauma situations.
The new definition is intended to improve triage processes in emergency medical services.
Future validation with patient outcomes is necessary to ensure effectiveness.

Abstract

We developed a consensus-based definition of AMT need for trauma patients that can be operationalized for AMT triage. Further validation of this concept with patient outcomes and identifying implementation barriers will contribute to field deployment of a useful AMT triage tool for EMS clinicians.
