Occupational injuries not leading cause for medevacs
A new study shows that despite common perception, the majority of air medical evacuations, or medevacs, are not from occupational injuries or trauma.
Safety Management Systems (SMS) Medical Director Donald P. Thibodaux, M.D. — along with coauthors Robert M. Bourgeois, M.D., MPH; Ronald R. Loeppke, M.D., MPH; Doris L. Konicki, MHS; Pamela A. Hymel, M.D., MPH; and Marianne Dreger, MA — spearheaded a study on medevacs that is featured in the July 2014 issue of the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
