Catastrophic mass casualty events (MCEs), such as pandemic influenza outbreaks, earthquakes, or large-scale terrorism-related events, quickly and suddenly yield thousands of victims whose needs overwhelm local and regional health care systems, personnel, and resources. Such conditions require deploying scarce resources in a manner that is different from the more common multiple casualty event. This article presents issues associated with providing nursing care under MCE circumstances of scarce resources and the educational needs of nurses to prepare them to effectively respond in these emergencies.
灾难性大规模伤亡事件（MCEs），如大流行性流感爆发、地震或与恐怖主义相关的大规模事件，会迅速且突然产生数千名受害者，其需求使当地和地区的医疗保健系统、人员及资源不堪重负。这种情况需要以一种不同于更常见的多重伤亡事件的方式来调配稀缺资源。本文介绍了在资源稀缺的MCE情况下提供护理服务所涉及的问题，以及护士为有效应对这些紧急情况所需的教育需求。
