Objective:
The purpose of this article was to report the results of a national survey of medical transport programs to establish national estimates of critical care transports and use those results combined with other data sources to generate annual transport volume estimates.
Methods:
An online survey was administered to collect transport statistics from medical transport programs registered in the Association of Air Medical Services Atlas and Database of Air Medical services in 2015.
Results:
Roughly 20% of all registered programs participated. An estimated 640,000 critical care transports are conducted annually; an additional breakdown by mode of transfer is presented.
Conclusion:
Low participation rates preclude establishing precise critical care transport statistics. Future participation is encouraged to enable more accurate data reporting to establish resources that can support research and policy initiatives.

Statistical Significance
Probability in Statistics
An example of a simple event is a coin toss. The result of a coin toss is either a head or a tail. Here, head and tail are two simple events. These two simple events make up the sample space. Further, the probability of an event occurring falls within the range of 0 to 1. The probability of an...
