[Transportation in a helicopter ambulance and resuscitation of patients with cervical spinal injuries. Our regional experience].
Clinical results concerning forty-three patients suffering from cervical column trauma, among whom, eighteen with myelic pathology and twenty five amyelic treated with conservative and not surgical method in intensive neuro-traumatological therapy are examined. We note that the substantial difference in mortality and healing of the lesion depends on whether the patient has been transported by an helicopter-ambulance and so with a time "trauma-bony segments alignment" much shorter or not longer than 100 minute or if the patient has arrived ad the department after a transportation by ambulance or makeshift transportation and so with a time "trauma-segments alignment" longer than 240 minutes.
