Friday 30 October at 14:00, Karen Alstrup defends her PhD dissertation entitled "The Danish Helicopter Emergency Medical Service: Activities and Impact on Patient outcomes".
Nationwide helicopter emergency medical services were introduced in Denmark in 2014 as a specialised pre- hospital resource supplementing the existing ground emergency medical services providing advanced on-scene treatment, triage and rapid transportation to definitive care for critically ill or injured patients located in rural areas. In-depth knowledge about the current use and benefit of HEMS is of significant importance in order to optimise dispatch accuracy, resource utilisation and ultimately patient outcomes. The dissertation includes 4 papers focusing on different aspects of HEMS including the quality of data in the Danish HEMS database, dispatch of HEMS, patient triage on scene and the impact of HEMS on patient mortality.
The summary is written by the PhD student.
The defence is public and takes place in the Merete Barker Auditorium, Aarhus University, Bartholins Allé 3, 8000 Aarhus C and online via Zoom (https://aarhusuniversity.zoom.us/j/63349654829) Please read the attached press release for more information.
