A mass casualty event is a situation in which the need for medical care and resources, including personnel, exceeds that which is available. As the largest component of the health care workforce, nurses represent a significant resource that can be called on to act as first responders during a mass casualty. However, current education and national guidelines fail to provide specific instruction on pre-hospital nursing considerations and interventions. This article provides evidence-based guidelines designed for nurses to use when acting as first responders during a disaster and presents recommendations for future nursing practice related to mass casualty events.
大规模伤亡事件是指对医疗护理和资源(包括人员)的需求超过可用资源的情况。作为医疗保健劳动力的最大组成部分,护士是一种重要资源,在大规模伤亡事件中可被征召作为第一响应者。然而,当前的教育和国家指南未能提供关于院前护理考量和干预措施的具体指导。本文提供了基于证据的指南,供护士在灾难中作为第一响应者时使用,并提出了与大规模伤亡事件相关的未来护理实践建议。
