often take Wasatch Front accident patients directly from the scene to one of several hospitals there because they’ll be at the hospital within that golden hour That’s not the case for most accidents in Cache County because it takes too much time for a helicopter to make the round-tri- p flight from Salt Lake City Jolley said “I think the patients get the best care coming into Logan Regional and getting stabilized before they fly elsewhere” he said "I think the whole system benefits from stabilization here” As medical director Jolley decides whether policies should dictate that patients be transported to Logan Regional Hospital first gan who teaches emergency medical technician classes questioned why paramedics can't be trained to stabilize patients in the field so victims can be flown directly from the accident scene to one of the trauma centers in Salt Lake City or Ogden “It's a technology issue” Jolley said ‘They don’t have they don’t have ventilators” To stabilize a patient in the field he said paramedics and emergency medical technicians would have to guess about the extent of injuries During the 20 to 25 minutes it takes a helicopter to fly up to Cache Valley critically injured patients can often be transported to Logan Regional Hospital where airways can be opened and X-ra- ys chest tubes be better implied and special drugs can be administered to help stabilize victims before a flight Logan Regional Hospital Administrator Richard Smith said "The helicopters are basic mobile intensive care units” But he added flights are often too unstable for staff to provide extensive treatment on board That kind of work is better done on the ground he said Smith was assistant administra- tor at LDS Hospital between of his duties included overseeing the program

said LifeFlight fees are based on a flat lift-o- ff cost plus mileage A helicopter flight generally costs about 10 times the amount of an ambulance ride to die hospital he said Most insurance
