Area of Science:

Public Health
Emergency Medicine
Traffic Safety

Background:

Traffic accidents pose a significant global public health challenge.
Urban traffic accident dynamics are influenced by population density and infrastructure.
Understanding prehospital emergency time intervals is crucial for urban public health.

Purpose of the Study:

To determine prehospital emergency time intervals for traffic accidents in Isfahan.
To analyze these intervals across 15 distinct zones within the city.

Main Methods:

A descriptive study conducted in 2023.
Census sampling of all prehospital emergency missions in the second half of 2022 (7613 missions).
Data collected via checklist and analyzed using the prehospital emergency information system.

Road traffic injuries

Traffic accidents

Main Results:

Zone 12 recorded the highest number of prehospital emergency missions across morning, afternoon, and evening periods.
All measured prehospital emergency times (reaction, response, scene, transfer, hospitalization) adhered to Iranian national standards.

Conclusions:

Identify zones with high population movement and traffic for strategic emergency base placement.
Ensure ambulance numbers are proportional to mission volume in high-demand zones.
