متن کاملComparative effectiveness of helicopter emergency medical services compared to ground emergency medical services
The use of helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) for the transportation and treatment of trauma patients, while commonplace in most developed nations, remains controversial. The purported beneficial effects of HEMS compared to ground emergency medical services is likely to be some combination of speed, crew expertise, and the fact that HEMS is part of an organized trauma system. When the...
متن کاملSurvival benefit of helicopter emergency medical services compared to ground emergency medical services in traumatized patients
INTRODUCTION Physician-staffed helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) are a well-established component of prehospital trauma care in Germany. Reduced rescue times and increased catchment area represent presumable specific advantages of HEMS. In contrast, the availability of HEMS is connected to a high financial burden and depends on the weather, day time and controlled visual flight rules...
متن کاملCoverage and Mobile Sensor Placement for Vehicles on Predetermined Routes: A Greedy Heuristic Approach
Road potholes are not only nuisance but can also damage vehicles and pose serious safety risks for drivers. Recently, a number of approaches have been developed for automatic pothole detection using equipment such as accelerometers, image sensors or LIDARs. Mounted on vehicles, such as taxis or buses, the sensors can automatically detect potholes as the vehicles carry out their normal operation...
متن کاملBig Step Greedy Heuristic for Maximum Coverage Problem
This paper proposes a greedy heuristic called Big step greedy heuristic and investigates its application to compute approximate solution for maximum coverage problem. Greedy algorithms construct the solution in multiple steps, the classical greedy algorithm for maximum coverage problem, in each step selects one set that contains the greatest number of uncovered elements. The Big step greedy heu...
