The Golden Hour is an
emergency medical term, referring to the first sixty minutes after an accident or the onset of acute illness. The victim's chances of survival are greatest if he or she can be transported to an
emergency room within the Golden Hour; many countries have programs (such as
Flight for Life[?] in the
United States) that seek to move victims to a trauma center within the time frame.
