Medical support by a team of doctors to offshore paramedics
Abstract:
The experience of one team of doctors supporting offshore paramedics in the North Sea is described. During 1985 all cases for which radio advice from a doctor was sought by offshore paramedics and all cases referred for examination by a doctor were analysed. Of the 743 cases 528 (71%) were referred for examination by a doctor and for 215 (29%) the offshore paramedics sought radio advice only. Injury formed the largest category of disorder for both groups of cases. The majority of patients referred for examination were seen in the doctor's surgery and following examination over half were cared for at home by their own general practitioner.
