1.	ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction 03/01/2011 - "This study aimed to assess the feasibility, safety and efficacy of the strategy of direct ambulance transportation of patients with acute STEMI to catheterization lab to receive primary PCI. " 12/01/2018 - "Direct transportation of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) from the scene by advanced life support (ALS) paramedics has been shown to improve reperfusion times and outcomes. " 08/30/2022 - "Aim: The aim of the study is to analyze the impact of the activation of helicopter rescue service for the nighttime for urgent transportation of patients on the time to revascularization and on the outcomes of STEMI patients. " 08/01/2016 - "Several factors have contributed to the delays in achieving the goal standard of above 90%; these include late identifications of patients with STEMI, delays in obtaining the ECG, activation of the catheterization laboratory and delay of patients' transportation." 10/04/2012 - "A Western Denmark Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) project was initiated 1.6.2011 for transportation of patients with time-critical illnesses, including STEMI. "
2.	Stroke (Strokes) 01/01/2022 - "This modeling study aimed to determine if helicopters may optimize the transportation of patients with symptoms of large vessel stroke in "intermediate density" areas, such as Denmark, by bringing them directly to the comprehensive stroke center. " 09/20/2023 - " interventions should focus on improving transportation accessibility to enhance social engagement for rural stroke survivors." 09/20/2023 - "These transport limitations are significantly associated with reduced social participation, highlighting the need for interventions to improve accessibility and fostering greater community engagement for stroke survivors in this population.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONLimited transportation access limits social participation for stroke survivors in rural India.Study" 01/01/2021 - "Current strategies include direct transportation of patients to a comprehensive stroke center (CSC) ("mothership model") or transportation to the nearest primary stroke center (PSC) and secondary transfer to the CSC ("drip-and-ship model"). " 01/01/2020 - "Introduction: High doses of activity-based rehabilitation therapy improve outcomes after stroke, but many patients do not receive this for various reasons such as poor access, transportation difficulties, and low compliance. "
3.	Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) 06/01/2021 - "Pulmonary rehabilitation is an effective treatment for patients with COPD, but patient uptake and adherence to the current offering of center-based pulmonary rehabilitation is modest due to transportation, access, poverty, and frailty, and even more so in the context of the COVID pandemic. " 12/01/2016 - "A final total of 13 studies were identified that described the use and implementation of SOPs (9 studies) and checklists (4 studies) in different areas of prehospital emergency medicine including prehospital management of patients with acute exacerbated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and acute coronary syndrome, prehospital airway management, medical documentation, Emergency Medical Services triage, and transportation of patients. "
4.	Infarction (Infarctions) 02/18/1989 - "[Safety and efficacy of thrombolysis during ambulance transportation of patients with an acute heart infarct]." 06/01/2020 - "The benefits associated with emergency medical system based transportation of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction do not translate into lower in-hospital mortality. " 10/01/2001 - "[Transportation of patients with acute infarction to the closest center with available emergency angioplastic services: why, when, where, and how?]." 03/01/2013 - "EMS allowed earlier admissions (75 % within 3 h of stroke onset), but also transportation of patients of an older age (75 vs. 71 years, p < 0.001), and with more severe strokes (62 % of total anterior circulation infarctions). "
5.	Frailty 06/01/2021 - "Pulmonary rehabilitation is an effective treatment for patients with COPD, but patient uptake and adherence to the current offering of center-based pulmonary rehabilitation is modest due to transportation, access, poverty, and frailty, and even more so in the context of the COVID pandemic.
