In a situation of crisis, an ambulance is dispatched according to the given emergency management information system(EMIS). However, the problem of past EMIS is that they did not concentrate on the reliable communication between the ambulance and medical specialists, thereby causing some needless casualties. This paper presents HEMIS, a highly-reliable emergency management information system, to solve such flaws. The effects showed that HEMIS was superior in data packet size, data safety and quality of service(QoS) to that of typical EMIS. Therefore, HEMIS is expected to increase the quality of medical service in ambulances, thereby decreasing casualties of patients carried in ambulances.

Background: This study aimed to assess the appropriate allocation of emergency medical beds across 17 provinces and presume the economic benefits associated with such allocation. Methods: To estimate the optimal allocation of emergency medical beds by province, data from the Statistics Korea's "cause of death statistics (2014-2021)," regional statistics on "area, population, gender, age," and "population projections" were utilized. The "number of emergency beds by city and district" provided by the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service was also used. In estimating the economic benefits of preventing avoidable emergency deaths due to the expansion of emergency medical facilities, guidelines from the Korea Development Institute and the Korea Transport Institute were referenced to calculate the wage loss costs associated with emergency deaths and estimate the economic benefits. Results: The optimal ratio of emergency medical beds allocation by region was highest in Gyeonggi, Seoul, Gyeongnam, Gyeongbuk, and Busan, while Daejeon, Jeju, and Sejong showed lower ratios. Additionally, the prevention of avoidable deaths and economic benefits resulting from the increase in emergency medical facilities were highest in Gyeonggi, Seoul, Gyeongbuk, Gyeongnam, and Busan. However, when standardized by population, the prevention of avoidable deaths and economic benefits were analyzed to be highest in Gyeongbuk, Chungnam, Jeonnam, Gyeongnam, and Busan. Conclusion: The results of this study can serve as foundational data for future policy measures aimed at addressing the imbalance in the supply of emergency medical facilities across regions. Considering regional characteristics in the distribution of emergency medical facilities is expected to ultimately increase the efficiency of national finances and yield economic benefits.

We consider the economic value of emergency medical facilities. An emergency medical facility affects the medical environments in a community, and thus the social demand on the facility increases as the demand of qualified public health service increases. Regarding the increased demand and the limited resources of fiscal budget, it is important to scientifically evaluate the social benefit of the public investment on emergency medical facilities, as the results of evaluation can help make better budgetary decision on each public investment project of emergency medical facilities. In this paper, we try to estimate the economic value of emergency medical facilities based upon the estimated changes in preventable death rate by the facility and the statistical value of life. We hope the results contribute to improve the budgetary decision making on the emergency medical facility projects, thus the public health policies.

Background: Although operative outcome is progressing due to the development of operative techniques and myocardial protection, some patients face an increased morbidity and mortality. Therefore, it has become increasingly important to predict the operative morbidity and mortality. Material and Method: This retrospective study reports the results of risk factor analysis of morbidity and mortality of 137 consecutive patients who were underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery(CABG). Preoperative variables were age, sex, preoperative myocardial infarction, operative priority, left ventricular ejection fraction, obesity and triple vessel disease. Postoperative morbidities were arrhythmia, wound infection, cerebral infarction, prolonged postoperative hospitalization, pneumonia, acute renal failure, prolonged use of ventilator and operative death. Result: The mean age of total patients was 56.7 years, from 27 to 74. The overall mortality was 6.6%(9 of 137) with the mortality of 3.9%(5 of 128) for elective operation, and 44.4%(4 of 9) for emergent or urgent cases. The morbidity of patients over 65 years was stastistically higher than that of under 65 years. Sex distribution showed no difference in morbidity, however operative mortality rate was slightly higher in women (5/41, 12.19%) than in men(4/96, 4.17%). Morbidity of emergent or urgent operation was 100%, much higher than that of the elective operation. Mortality of the patients whose left ventricular ejection fraction was under 50% was higher than that of those over 50%. Conclusion: We concluded that the risk factors of morbidity after CABG were old age above 65 years and emergent or urgent operation, and that risk factors of mortality were low left venticular ejection fraction under 50% and emergent or urgent operation.

The time taken for an ischemic heart disease patient to have a percutaneous coronary intervention because of acute myocardial infarction after arriving at the hospitals (door-to-balloon time) affects the patient's mortality significantly. To improve the emergency service system that has been previously used in the hospitals, this study focused on reducing door-data time and data-to-decision time among three time stages. The newly established e-emergency service system has set up the database of patients that had an emergency operation for acute myocardial infarction in the emergency service system of the hospital and has issued health cards for the patients that regularly visit the Busan National University Hospital. In addition, it has stored prior operation permits in the form of a certified electronic document. The new electronic system will reduce the complex treatment and operation procedures innovatively. Therefore, it is expected that this will make the life save (or the emergency patients easier and reduce the mortality. Moreover, it will also settle down the hospital staff's and patients' predicaments caused by the complex procedure of the legacy system.

산업의 발전과 경제성장을 바탕으로 대한민국의 자동차 등록수는 매년 꾸준한 증가세를 보이고 있다. 이와 더불어 자동차 사고 또한 급격히 증가하고 있다. 대한민국은 OECD회원국중 교통사고 발생건수가 높은 편이고 사망자수 또한 상위에 랭크되어 있다. 이러한 사망자 수는 각 나라별 교통사고 발생건수 대비 사망자수와 비교시 높은 사망률을 보이고 있다. 또한 자동차 충돌 사고에서 빈번히 발생되는 운전자의 의식불명에 따른 초기 응급조치의 미흡, 뺑소니 또는 사고 후 방치되는 상황을 방지하기 위해 차량용 블랙박스와 사고발생 통보 시스템이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 가속도센서를 이용하여 사고 발생시 충격 임계점을 계산한 후 사고 발생을 블루투스를 이용하여 스마트폰으로 전송한다, 또한, 교통사고 발생 후 환자의 응급 후송 및 2차 교통사고를 방지하기 위한 시스템의 필요성에 따라 블랙박스를 접목한 차량용 응급상황 감지 및 통보 시스템을 설계 및 구현하였다.

Diseases such as cardiovascular illnesses, according to the National Statistical Office opened reveals that 600-800 people were killed, blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, heart disease, stroke, etc. will be a flow of blood disorders that occur in cardiovascular illnesses today are fulfilling the Master / Slave samangryulin disease appears high. Died of cardiovascular disease also told them the correct first aid survival when patients are accounted for approximately 40% of emergency rapid response is required. Therefore, this paper, the weak classifier in the AdaBoost algorithm to generate a strong classifier by combining effects throughout the analysis to measure the ECG, and cardiovascular disease that occurred to you as soon as the emergency management system that can deliver on the proposed Desk was. The electrocardiogram data measured by the ZigBee-based sensors, communication devices and emergency transport for emergency alarms in the determination and monitoring of the management desk by providing health services to enable the delivery was fast.
