The Tokyo Metropolitan Parliament regular meeting was held on the 10th, representative questions were asked, and the doctor helicopter that is being deployed nationwide is not deployed in Tokyo, Governor Koike in Tokyo prepared for a large-scale disaster, etc. I showed the idea to consider.
On the 10th of the regular meeting of the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly, representative questions were held by each group.
Among them, the Komeito party is deploying nationwide about doctor helicopters that doctors and nurses carry while treating patients, but it is not deployed in Tokyo, so next year's Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics and earthquakes directly under the capital, etc. However, in preparation for a large-scale disaster, the introduction should be considered in earnest.
On the other hand, Governor Koike currently works with the Tokyo Fire Department, and when large or medium-sized helicopters are needed, stop by the hospital and take doctors and go to the site, using a method called `` Tokyo type doctor helicopter '' Explained.
On top of that, “Dr. helicopters using small helicopters have high mobility, such as being able to take off in a short time, and will contribute to ensuring an efficient emergency medical system. "We will continue to discuss the introduction of a doctor helicopter in cooperation with the" Tokyo type doctor helicopter "while proceeding with discussions at the conference."
In addition, the city also showed the idea of proceeding with specific adjustments for cooperation with neighboring prefectures that have already introduced doctor helicopters.
Doctor helicopter has 53 aircraft nationwide
According to the NPO “Emergency Helicopter Hospital Network”, there are 53 doctor helicopters deployed in 43 prefectures nationwide.
Of these, the Kanto region is deployed in all prefectures except Tokyo, and two in Chiba.
Of the four metropolitan prefectures that are not currently deployed, Kagawa and Fukui Prefectures are considering the introduction of doctor helicopters as prefectures, and Kyoto is a system for obtaining cooperation from other prefectures in the Kansai region. because you are taking, in effect, the prospect of deployment is not set is that just Tokyo.
Doctor helicopters are stationed at base hospitals such as the lifesaving emergency center, and doctors and nurses who are on standby will ride on patients when they are requested to dispatch them and carry them while treating them.
According to the summary of the Japan Society for Aeronautical Medicine, last year, approximately 29,000 cases were dispatched nationwide.
"Tokyo type" operation for 12 years
Tokyo, where doctor helicopters are not deployed, has been operating the Tokyo Fire Department helicopter for rescue activities and disaster response as “Tokyo Doctor Helicopter” since 12 years ago for emergency transport in the Tama area and islands.
According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, when there are 8 large-sized and medium-sized helicopters of Tokyo Fire Department Air Corps currently stationed in two heliports in Koto Ward and Tachikawa City for 24 hours, You can contact 11 partner hospitals and wait for the doctor at the heliport if you get the cooperation, or take the doctor off the heliport and pick up the doctor on the way before heading to the scene.
However, since it takes time to meet with a doctor, it is a problem that it cannot respond quickly.
According to a non-profit organization that promotes the spread and enlightenment of doctor helicopters, if a doctor helicopter deployed nationwide is introduced in Tokyo, it will be possible to rush directly to the site with a doctor from the base hospital immediately after the 119th report. Because it can, it is expected that the time until the treatment of the doctor will be shortened.
In addition, if it is a small aircraft, you can land on a narrow ground, etc., so you can increase the number of points where the doctor helicopter can take off and land.
Doctor helicopter dissemination group “System to protect the lives of residents”
Nobuo Shinoda, director of the NPO “Emergency Helicopter Hospital Network”, working on the spread and enlightenment of doctor helicopters, said, “When the 119th report comes in on the issues of the Tokyo-type doctor helicopter, call a partner hospital from which to board a doctor. I would like to ask you that if a doctor is not found immediately, there will be a loss of time and the important point of the doctor helicopter that it will start treatment quickly will not be satisfied.
On top of that, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government is proceeding with a study on the introduction of doctor helicopters. “Since there are doctor helicopters in the world's largest cities, I would like you to create a system to protect the lives of residents by introducing the capital. In the event of a large-scale event like this or a disaster such as an earthquake directly under the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, I would like to see a system that allows the city and surrounding local governments to support each other.
