Study on Effective Response Plans for Disaster Sites with Multiple Casualties

Abstract

This study draws implications through a case analysis of disaster sites with multiple casualties. Based on this, through a survey targeting firefighters working at disaster sites, this study aimed to present an effective response improvement plan at disaster sites with multiple casualties. First, it is necessary to strengthen the operational capability of the emergency medical center of the first responders. Second, an easy and convenient triage pocket book should be produced and distributed to strengthen the triage capability of all firefighters, including paramedics. Third, it is necessary to introduce the multiple casualty e-triage system for casualty management. Fourth, the communication system for prompt on-site dispatch at public health centers and DMAT should be improved. Lastly, it is necessary to re-establish the severity classification criteria for cardiac arrest patients at disaster sites.
