Rescue operation at the train station: helicopter takes baby to hospital!

On January 9, 2025, there was a rescue operation at the train station forecourt in Rosenheim, during which a rescue helicopter landed. The helicopter was requested due to a medical emergency to transport an infant from a pediatric practice to a hospital. The operation required the use of an intensive care helicopter to ensure the gentle transport of the small patient.

The operation began shortly after 4 p.m. and attracted around 30 emergency services, including members of the Rosenheim fire department, federal police, Rosenheim police and the rescue service. The forecourt was cordoned off to pedestrians during the operation to ensure a safe landing area for the helicopter and to ensure that no flying objects could become dangerous. The entire intervention lasted approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Use of a rescue helicopter

Rescue helicopters (RTH) are specially equipped for air rescue and the transport of hospital patients. In Austria they are also known as emergency medical helicopters (NAH). These helicopters are used in acute emergencies with an emergency doctor's indication as well as for secondary transfers between hospitals. No information was available about the infant's medical details and the hospital where he was transported at the time of reporting Wasserburg24 reported.

The crew of a rescue helicopter typically consists of an emergency doctor, a HEMS technical crew member and the pilot. These helicopters often offer faster arrival times, especially in rural areas, and are often the only means of rescue in difficult-to-reach regions.
