Three experiences of management of mass casualties in Jos University Teaching Hospital were analysed. Classification into minor, moderate and major mass casualties was done using multiple criteria of number of casualties, number of doctors required to contain the situation, number of nurses and paramedical staff, degree of distruption of hospital services and time required to handle the immediate stabilisation of the casualties. The classification recognises a category called "regional disaster" and attempts to enunciate a principle of initiation, mobilisation and co-ordination of management of such disasters among hospitals and human and material resources within the region. It is envisaged that coalescence of "regional disaster preparedness" would from the bedrock of national ambulance services system.
分析了乔斯大学教学医院处理大规模伤亡事件的三次经验。根据伤亡人数、控制局面所需医生数量、护士和辅助医务人员数量、医院服务中断程度以及处理伤员即时稳定所需时间等多项标准，将大规模伤亡分为轻伤、中度伤和重伤。该分类认可一种名为“区域灾难”的类别，并试图阐明该地区医院之间以及该地区人力和物力资源在这类灾难管理方面的启动、动员和协调原则。预计“区域灾难准备”的融合将成为国家救护车服务系统的基石。
