Study type | Observational |
Improving oxygenation and ventilation in drowning patients early in the field is critical and may be lifesaving. This may be achieved by helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) such as the Danish Air Ambulance, or the Royal Danish Air Force's Search And Rescue (SAR) helicopters. The SAR operates in all weather conditions and is equipped with a hoist system, able to hoist patients from the sea or small ships without helipads. This study aimed to estimate the incidence of drowning missions attended by the Royal Danish Air Force's SAR helicopter and describe patient characteristics and prehospital interventions.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Annual incidence of drowning treated by the Danish SAR helicopters from 2014-2023 | The incidence will be reported as the annual number of cases. | 1 year | |
Primary | Annual incidence rate of drowning treated by the Danish SAR helicopters from 2014-2023 | The incidence rate as the annual number of cases per 100,000 person-years. | 1 year | |
Primary | Spatial distribution of drowning patients treated by the Danish SAR helicopters from 2014-2023 | The spatial distribution of drowning incidents will be displayed on a map of Denmark, with each case presented with a single entry based on the geographical coordinates of the incident. | The map will display all drowning incidents treated by the Danish SAR helicopters from 2014-2023. | |
Secondary | Drowning to water rescue ratio | We will report the number of drowning patients (defined by respiratory impairment) compared to patients rescued from the sea without respiratory impairment from 2014-2023. | The ratio will show the cumulated frequencies from 2014-2023. |
