The object of this study was to determine an optimum system of utilizing helicopters as a means of evacuating highway accident victims to a health care facility and to determine the personnel and the equipment required to support this system in the Baton Rouge, Louisiana, area. Data was collected by interviewing persons experienced in helicopter evacuation and highway accidents and by sending letters of inquiry to noted authorities in the field. Analysis of the deaths and the injuries on the highways in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, reveals that the public must devise additional means of assuring accident victims a better chance for survival and recovery, with less probability of permanent impairment. The conclusion can, therefore, be drawn that a helicopter evacuation system, which derives its effectiveness from speed, range, and independence of surface features, can reduce deaths and injuries significantly. It is recommended that this helicopter evacuation system be implemented.
