The EMS system in a Colorado mountain community was tested by the fall of a ski lift injuring 49 people. The response was complicated by the remote location of the accident and the number of injuries. Use of a preconceived disaster plan reduced morbidity and mortality. Patients were stabilized and triaged at the disaster site, and transported to the Snake River Health Services, Inc., where a second level of triage occurred. ATLS was provided at the Snake River Health Services and patients were transported to various surgical facilities throughout Colorado. Because a disaster in a remote or rural area can more easily overwhelm available resources, physicians should ensure that a good disaster plan is in place, should be able to provide initial evaluation and stabilization of patients, and arrange transport to the nearest appropriate facility.
科罗拉多山区一个社区的紧急医疗服务系统因一部滑雪缆车坠落致使49人受伤而受到考验。事故发生地点偏远以及受伤人数众多使救援行动变得复杂。预先制定的灾难计划的实施降低了发病率和死亡率。患者在灾难现场得到了稳定和分诊，随后被送往斯内克河健康服务公司，在那里进行了二级分诊。斯内克河健康服务公司提供了高级创伤生命支持，患者被转运至科罗拉多州各地的各种外科治疗机构。由于偏远或农村地区发生的灾难更容易耗尽可用资源，医生应确保制定完善的灾难计划，应能够对患者进行初步评估和稳定病情，并安排将患者转运至最近的合适机构。
