PHI Air Medical – The Golden Hour
The golden hour is a fundamental concept in emergency and trauma care, this term refers to the critical first hour after a serious injury has occurred. During this hour, swift medical attention is the key to increasing the chances of survival and improving outcomes for the patient. In trauma situations, every second counts, and the faster medical care can be provided, the better the chances of saving lives and minimizing long-term damage. At PHI Air Medical we strive for safety and understand the significance of this one-hour window. We take urgent action when providing air ambulance transportation, to ensure we beat the race against the golden hour. Whether a patient is in a highly populated city or a remote, rural area, PHI Air Medical is committed to providing expert care at any second.
PHI Air Medical has an advantage in reaching patients quickly, especially when ground transportation can be too slow because of factors such as terrain, traffic, and the distance of the scene. This timely response can mean the difference between life and death, and PHI Air Medical never backs down from this responsibility. Ultimately, when a family faces a medical emergency crisis, PHI Air Medical is there to help navigate the uncertainty and provide the highly skilled care the patient needs in the crucial moments during the golden hour and beyond.
