 note = {In April 1980 an air emergency service was initiated in Hokkaido. The service was designed to use a helicopter as a rule to transport critically injured and seriously ill patients from community hospitals to Sapporo Medical College Hospital or other medical centers. Use of the helicopter with physicians and essential equipment of the college hospital is very useful for the interhospital transportation of critical patients in the wide area of Hokkaido with small islands and mountains having much snowfall in winter. More than 200 patients were transported in these four years.A new building of Sapporo Medical College Hospital was constructed in August 1983 which has a heliport on the top of it. The heliport has received 18 critical patients from December 1983 to July 1984. Seven were cases of trauma including cold injury, 4 were cardiac disease, 4 were cerebrovascular disease, 2 were malignant tumor and one multiple organ failure. Geographicaly, Sapporo Medical College is located in the center of the city and there is no space available for a heloport to be constructed on the ground. A helicopter base is situated in the suburbs, so that an ambulance used between the hospital and the base takes more than 20 minutes. However, the new heliport is available for the immediate dispatching of physichans and receiving critical patients without delay, especially in bad traffic conditions and during winter. The transfer of the patient from the suburban helicopter base to the ambulance is a loss of critical time. The heliport on top of the hospital makes for a smooth transfer of the patient as well as the saving of valuable time which is essential in critical cases.},
