Dr Bryan Bledsoe, een gerenommeerde trauma arts in de USA benoemt een studie die laat zien dat
de meeste patientendie per MMT heli zijn vrvoerd net zo goed over land vervoerd hadden kunnen worden:
''Very complicated yet well done study that demonstrates what many of us intuitively know. Most patients transported by air can do just as well by ground which is generally safer and a great deal less expensive. In order to be cost-effective the patients sent by helicopter should be very injured (high ISS). This would would eliminate about 80-90% of helicopter transports which is a message no publicly-traded corporation wants to hear or believe.''
