Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To analyze the current situation of drug use in domestic aeromedical rescue, and provide references for the development of aeromedical rescue services and the rational use of drugs on board. METHODS All literature on aeromedical rescue in China were retrieved from the databases of SinoMed, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang data up to September 1st, 2024. Extracting descriptive analysis were conducted on the literature screened by the inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS A total of 36 literature were included. Aeromedical rescue cases had been reported in China since 1985, with a cumulative total of 5 370 cases reported. Prehospital rescue performed 861 cases, with 96.40% of them involving the use of at least 9 categories, totaling at least 10 different drugs, primarily emergency drugs. Interhospital rescue performed 4 509 cases, and 85.23% of them used over 48 kinds of drugs across 19 categories, mainly emergency drugs supplemented by specialty drugs. From the view of transportation, 5 166 air transfers were made by helicopters, of which 88.00% involved the use of drugs, and 204 cases by fixed-wing aircraft, of which 91.18% involved the use of drugs. CONCLUSIONS Drugs are frequently used in aeromedical rescue involving a wide variety of types in China. It is imperative to strengthen the focus on the equipment and rational use of drugs in aeromedical rescue, thereby facilitating the establishment of a standardized theoretical framework.
