HOSPITAL HELIPADS: DESIGN AND OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Dr Shashikant Sharma, Dr Sameer Mehrotra
Abstract :
An overwhelming proportion of deaths occur before patients even reach the hospital. Two third (60.7%) of the accident victims belonged to the age range of 15 to 44 years. As a result, governments in developing nations have been attempting to establish and strengthen pre hospital emergency medical systems that can provide patients with pre hospital basic life support and transportation to higher care. Unfortunately, pre hospital trauma care is not available to most of the world’s population and India is no exception. In India, Helicopter Ambulance services are still in the stage of infancy. With the advent of technology and increase in purchasing power of consumers, helicopter ambulances are likely to increase and extend their operations to meet the rising patient need and expectations, hence the need for hospitals to incorporate helipads in the initial hospital planning and designing stage. This document provides with the guidelines for various stakeholders in the hospital for designing helipad services.
