This article outlines the position of The Eastern Association of the Surgery of Trauma (EAST) in defining the role of surgeons, and specifically trauma/critical care surgeons, in the development of public health initiatives that are designed to react to and deal effectively with acts of terrorism. All aspects of the surgeon's role in response to mass casualty incidents are considered, from prehospital response teams to the postevent debriefing. The role of the surgeon in response to mass casualty incidents (MCIs) is substantial in response to threats and injury from natural, unintentional, and intentional disasters. The surgeon must take an active role in pre-event community preparation in training, planning, and executing the response to MCI. The marriage of initiatives among Departments of Public Health, the Department of Homeland Security, and existing trauma systems will provide a template for successful responses to terrorist acts.
本文概述了东部创伤外科学会(EAST)在界定外科医生,特别是创伤/重症监护外科医生在制定旨在应对并有效处理恐怖主义行为的公共卫生倡议中的作用方面的立场。从院前反应小组到事件后的汇报,都考虑了外科医生在应对大规模伤亡事件中的角色的各个方面。外科医生在应对大规模伤亡事件(MCI)时,对于应对自然、意外和故意灾害造成的威胁和伤害起着重要作用。外科医生必须在事件前的社区准备工作中积极发挥作用,包括培训、规划和执行对MCI的应对措施。公共卫生部门、国土安全部和现有创伤系统之间倡议的结合,将为成功应对恐怖主义行为提供一个模板。
