Among them, 20 venue ambulances participated in regional support tasks during idle times. Ambulances transported patients from event sites 345 times, with the highest number of transports occurring at competition venues (187 times) and the fewest in the assisting city of Huzhou (6 times). The highest ambulance utilization rate was 70.5% at competition venues, while training venues, non-competition venues, and regional support ambulances had utilization rates of 45.5%, 53.3%, and 42.3%, respectively. The median age of transported individuals was 26 (21, 36), with a majority being male (59.1%). Athletes comprised 52.5% of transports, while staff and spectators accounted for 39.7% and 7.8%, respectively. Joint injuries were the most common condition among transported individuals, totaling 58 cases (16.8%). Regional support ambulances participated in 75 transfers and replacements, with 17 (22.7%) transfers and 58 (77.3%) replacements.Conclusions:This study confirms the feasibility and efficiency of the Asian Games' ambulance support plan, highlighting the crucial role of EMSS.
