Abstract

Objective: Today, air medical services play a key part in providing emergency medical services in accidents and disasters in many countries, including Iran. The present study aims to investigate the barriers to air medical services in accidents and disasters in Iran and suggest solutions to them.

Results: Analysis of the qualitative data resulted in extraction of 84 codes, which were classified into 13 subcategories and eventually into four themes, namely planning, management of resources, updating procedures, and empowerment of human resources. The findings also underscored the role of general policies, safety of flights and the scene of the accident, the cost and length of arriving at the scene of the accident, training programs designed to enhance the personnel's preparation, and management of disasters and accidents. Senior medical emergency services managers can use the findings of the present study to identify the challenges which pre-hospital emergency care personnel are faced to air medical services in accidents and disasters and take the necessary measures to eliminate them toward improving the quality of pre-hospital care in air medical services in accidents and disasters.

调查伊朗事故和灾难中空中医疗服务的障碍并提出解决方案：一项定性研究。

目标：今天，在包括伊朗在内的许多国家，空中医疗服务在事故和灾害中提供紧急医疗服务方面发挥着关键作用。本研究旨在调查伊朗事故和灾难中航空医疗服务的障碍，并提出解决这些障碍的建议。结果：通过对定性数据的分析，提取出84条规范，并将其分为13个子类，最终划分为规划、资源管理、更新程序和人力资源赋权四个主题。调查结果还强调了一般政策的作用、飞行和事故现场的安全、到达事故现场的成本和时间、旨在加强人员准备的培训计划，以及对灾害和事故的管理。高级医疗急救服务管理者可以利用本研究的结果，识别事故和灾害中院前急救人员面临的挑战，并采取必要措施消除这些挑战，以提高事故和灾害中航空医疗服务的院前护理质量。
