This report describes the medical response, action plan, and after-action summary adopted by the Louisiana State University (LSU) New Orleans - Emergency Medicine (EM) Residency Program in response to Hurricane Ida which occurred in New Orleans, Louisiana (USA) late August through early September 2021. New Orleans has an estimated 385,000 people within the 350 square miles surrounding the metropolitan area, with greater than one million residents in all of Louisiana. In the two-week time span during and following the event, residents, nurses, attendings, ancillary staff, and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) managed a substantial intensification in daily EM activities due to a substantial lack of resources (ie, food, electricity, water, housing, medications, oxygen, and primary care). This report outlines the redistribution of emergency department (ED) residents within the primary clinical site, University Medical Center New Orleans (UMCNO); describes the daily communication flow from the chief residents and program director; describes the daily EM response; describes the pre- and post-action plans based on those efforts during hurricane operations; and summarizes the obtained information.
本报告描述了路易斯安那州立大学（LSU）新奥尔良-急诊医学（EM）住院医师项目针对 2021 年 8 月底至 9 月初在美国路易斯安那州新奥尔良发生的飓风艾达所采取的医疗应对、行动计划和行动后总结。新奥尔良市在大都市地区周围的 350 平方英里范围内估计有 38.5 万人，路易斯安那州的居民总数超过 100 万。在事件发生期间和之后的两周内，居民、护士、主治医生、辅助人员和紧急医疗服务（EMS）由于资源严重短缺（即食物、电力、水、住房、药物、氧气和初级保健），导致急诊部（ED）的日常活动大幅增加。本报告概述了在主要临床站点新奥尔良大学医学中心（UMCNO）内重新分配急诊住院医师；描述了首席住院医师和项目主任的日常沟通流程；描述了日常的 EM 应对措施；描述了飓风行动期间基于这些努力的事前和事后行动计划；并总结了所获得的信息。
