Ítem Development of the Aerial Remote Triage System: Result of a survey of international expert(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2021-05-11) Álvarez-García, Cristina; Cámara-Anguita, Sixto; López-Hens, José María; Granero, Nani; López-Franco, María Dolores; Comino-Sanz, Inés María; Sanz-Martos, Sebastián; Pancorbo, Pedro LuisThe use of drones for triage in mass-casualty incidents has recently emerged as a promising technology. However, there is no triage system specifically adapted to a remote usage. Our study aimed to develop a remote triage procedure using drones. The research was performed in three stages: literature review, the development of a remote triage algorithm using drones and evaluation of the algorithm by experts. Qualitative synthesis and the calculation of content validity ratios were done to achieve the Aerial Remote Triage System. This algorithm assesses (in this order): major bleeding, walking, consciousness and signs of life; and then classify the injured people into several priority categories: priority 1 (red), priority 2 (yellow), priority 3 (green) and priority * (violet). It includes the possibility to indicate save living interventions to injured people and bystanders, like the compression of bleeding injuries or the adoption of the recovery position. The Aerial Remote Triage System may be a useful way to perform triage by drone in complex emergencies when it is difficult to access to the scene due to physical, chemical or biological risks.Ítem Drone Applications for Emergency and Urgent Care: A Systematic Review(CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 2022-06-09) Sanz-Martos, Sebastián; López-Franco, María Dolores; Álvarez-García, Cristina; Granero, Nani; López-Hens, José María; Cámara-Anguita, Sixto; Pancorbo, Pedro Luis; Comino-Sanz, Inés MaríaIntroduction: In recent years, the use of drones in health emergencies has increased. Among their main benefits are avoiding endangering rescuers, travelling long distances in a short time, or contacting victims in risky situations; but despite their multiple advantages, their use has not been fully demonstrated. Study Objective: This study aims to identify the available evidence on the use of drones in emergency health care compared to traditional health care. Methods: Systematic review of the literature was conducted. Search protocols were developed to locate studies that met the established selection criteria. Six experimental or quasiexperimental studies with high methodological quality published from the beginning of indexing until 2020 were included. Results: Drones covered a significantly larger area than other traditional tracking methods and were very useful for performing preliminary triage, determining needs, and knowing the scene prior to the arrival of rescuers. In addition, drones reduced the time required to locate the victim. Conclusions: Drones are an element to be taken into account when attending health emergencies as they significantly improve the distance travelled to locate accident victims, have the possibility of performing triage prior to the arrival of the health care units, and improve the time and quality of the care provided.
