Effective planning is essential for medical personnel preparing to provide emergency care at mass gatherings. At large concerts where audience members participate in "moshing," crowd surfing, and stage diving, there may be a potential for a dramatic increase in injuries requiring medical attention. Injuries seen at emergency medical stations at 3 concerts, all with large mosh pits, over 4 event days were recorded and evaluated. Each event day had over 60,000 attendees. A total of 1,542 medical incidents (82.9 per 10,000) were reported over the 4 event days. There were 37% (466 patients, 25.1 per 10,000) of incidents related to moshing activity. Hospital transport was required for 2.5% (39 patients, 2.1 per 10,000) of medical visits with 74% (29 patients, 1.5 per 10,000) of those transported being for mosh pit-related injuries. When planning emergency medical care for such concerts with mosh pits, the potential for an increase in the number of medical incidents and injuries requiring medical attention and hospital transport should be taken into account for efficient medical coverage.
对于准备在大型集会中提供急救护理的医务人员来说，有效的规划至关重要。在观众参与“撞人”、人群冲浪和舞台跳水的大型音乐会上，需要医疗救治的受伤人数可能会急剧增加。记录并评估了在4个活动日期间，3场均设有大型撞人区的音乐会上，急救医疗站所处理的受伤情况。每个活动日的参会人数均超过6万。在这4个活动日期间，共报告了1542起医疗事件（每10000人中有82.9起）。其中37%（466名患者，每10000人中有25.1名）的事件与撞人活动有关。2.5%（39次就诊，每10000人中有2.1次）的医疗就诊需要送往医院，其中74%（29名患者，每10000人中有1.5名）被送往医院是因为与撞人区相关的损伤。在为有撞人区的此类音乐会规划急救医疗护理时，应考虑到医疗事件数量以及需要医疗救治和送往医院的受伤人数增加的可能性，以便提供有效的医疗覆盖。
