Abstract

Access and emergency medical care for massive or multiple injuries is an comprehensive interdisciplinary challenge. Taking care of the growing causes of emergency care levels as well as cross-sectoral collaboration in the management of multiple incidents, reducing disease, disability, and mortality in the population with multiple disorders. In a disaster or extraordinary situation with mass casualties is a state in which the health care system is overloaded and the ability to provide emergency health care is considerably hindered. The aim of this review is to present the current state of knowledge on what we, the authors, say are the central aspects of trauma management of mass casualty incidents. Emergency planning and methodology are related to accidental states, elementary medical staff disasters, medical equipment, drilling material, concretizing assessment tools, monitoring, mass incident prevention. In terms of implementing a good action plan, effective collaboration between state agencies such as fire departament and law enforcement is necessary in identifying and directing critically ill patients to designated trauma centres. The integration of emergency systems for incident management, through providing resources like, medical equipment, drugs, autoambulances, ongoing education and training. This has the impact of increasing knowledge of medical emergency procedures that would help reduce the risk of consequences of mass incidents. When applied to MCI responses, damage-control principles reduce resource utilization and optimze surge capacity, consequently reducing the rate of mortality.
