question between transport by ground versus air

Based on patient presentation

ST elevation in leads V1-V4

Elevated Blood Sugar

slight facial droop to right side of face

BP of 70/40

Would you have transported by Ground ambulance to the receiving facility which is one hour away on the ground or would you have opted for Air transport?

I would assume dehydration causing elevated BGL and lower BP.

Did not know ED is 1 hour.

But would have started rehydration en route ground with O2 and recheck all.

If one can already have a head start en route vs waiting for helicopter arrival, assessment, packaging, loading and take off, what is the actual difference in ED arrival?
