Mass injury events present a unique medical challenge. Effective communications and coordination of resources including trained personnel as well as supplies and equipment are critical in these emergent situations. In the U.S., the availability of allograft skin plays a lifesaving role in treatment of burn injuries. Maintaining an adequate and readily available supply of this precious resource is critical for treatment of multiple injuries in the event of a national emergency. Allograft skin has historically been a local resource but contraction and consolidation of tissue banks has given rise to a small number of more nationally focused skin suppliers. While distinctly separate and essentially competing entities, these organizations come together in times of crisis to serve patients in need. Emergency preparations must include the ability to monitor and coordinate the capabilities of these organizations to supply lifesaving tissue grafts in times of national and global disasters.
大规模伤亡事件带来了独特的医学挑战。在这些紧急情况下，有效的沟通以及包括训练有素的人员、物资和设备在内的资源协调至关重要。在美国，同种异体皮肤的可获得性在烧伤治疗中发挥着救命作用。在国家紧急情况发生时，维持这种珍贵资源的充足且随时可用的供应对于多重损伤的治疗至关重要。同种异体皮肤在历史上一直是一种本地资源，但组织库的合并和整合导致出现了少数更专注于全国范围的皮肤供应商。虽然这些组织明显各自独立且本质上相互竞争，但在危机时刻它们会联合起来为有需要的患者提供服务。应急准备必须包括监测和协调这些组织在国家和全球灾难时期提供救命组织移植物的能力。
