tion.” Greenville Memorial’s nationally
accredited Chest Pain Center has a median “door‐to‐balloon” time of less than 58 minutes, significantly better than the 90‐minute national standard for performing clot‐busting angioplas‐ ties and stent placements on patients suffering heart attacks. The protocol, made possible through exceptional cooperation between Greenville County EMS, Mobile Care and GHS’ emergency medicine and cardiology departments, has been a model for other area hospitals. Med‐Trans also has partnerships with Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System and AnMed Health. Because of their proximity and close working rela‐ tionships, the three hospitals will be able to back up each other in the event that their primary helicopters are already on a call, Buttrell said. The GHS Med Trans helicopter fea‐ tures the latest integrated computer‐ ized visual‐flight‐rules display. The dis‐ play provides enhanced situational
awareness for the pilot and includes a terrain‐avoidance warning system, satellite weather display and a traffic avoidance system that shows other air‐ craft in the area. EMS
