Gunnarsson	Outcomes of Physician‐Staffed Versus Non‐Physician‐Staffed Helicopter Transport for ST‐Elevation Myocardial Infarction	2017.0	6	.pdf	application/pdf	4665	542	61	Background-—The effect of physician-staffed helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS) on ST-elevation myocardial infarction The purpose of this study was to evaluate the characteristics and outcomes of physicianstaffed HEMS (Physician-HEMS) versus non-physician-staffed (Standard-HEMS) in patients with STEMI. Methods and Results-—We studied 398 STEMI patients transferred by either Physician-HEMS (n=327) or Standard-HEMS (n=71) The Standard-HEMS group was more likely than the PhysicianHEMS group to receive nitroglycerin (37% vs 15%; P<0.001) and opioid analgesics (42.3% vs 21.7%; P<0.001) during transport. After adjusting for age, sex, Killip class, and transport time, patients transferred by Standard-HEMS had increased risk of any serious in-hospital adverse event (odds ratio=2.91; 95% CI=1.39–6.06; P=0.004). P rimary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)improves survival in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and is the optimal treatment when Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) are commonly used to transport patients from non-PCI centers (ie, transport time, patients transferred by Standard-HEMS had an	./cache/work_kduxsgu67jgytlekg5tn4cfhiu.pdf	./txt/work_kduxsgu67jgytlekg5tn4cfhiu.txt
