BiALP<\/a>, a non-profit association of students and resident physicians dedicated to research in mountain medicine, is currently conducting a scientific study on avalanche airbags to understand the perception of this device and the recommendations of mountain professionals such as ski instructors, mountain guides, and rescue services.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The project aims to address the following questions: Are avalanche airbags recommended and used by experts and rescue services in the Alpine countries? Do they actually have an effectiveness and significance in reducing mortality?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This study follows previous work on avalanche airbags that was already published at the WADEM 2023 International Conference on Emergency and Disaster Medicine. (Link: https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jtm\/article\/30\/4\/taac133\/6812861?login=false<\/a>).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The collected data will be published in a scientific journal and presented at the 2025 World Congress on Emergency and Disaster Medicine in Tokyo (WADEM), with appropriate credit given to the organizations that contributed to the project.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The survey is available in several languages:<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
