The term 'zero responder' was initially devised in 2010 to describe those passing by or unharmed in a mass casualty incident, who provide life-saving care for injured persons before qualified professionals arrive. This review aims to determine how the literature defines the role of the zero responder and to explore how they can be better integrated into the emergency response. Current definitions of the zero responder in a medical setting were found through a literature search of several databases and online libraries using defined search terms. Additionally, a manual search of citations in included articles was performed to yield more results. In total, 16 papers defining the zero responder were included. These definitions were evaluated, and a revised definition was suggested to clarify the role in a medical setting relating to mass casualty incidents. The role of the zero responder can be facilitated through authority recognition and adequate equipment provision. Familiarisation with the term and role of zero responders among ambulance services is essential for effective collaboration. Further research and clarity on the integration of these two groups is necessary to facilitate effective and safe working between them.
“零响应者”一词最初于2010年提出，用于描述在大规模伤亡事件中路过或未受伤害的人，他们在合格专业人员到达之前为受伤人员提供救命护理。本综述旨在确定文献如何定义零响应者的角色，并探讨如何更好地将他们纳入应急响应中。通过使用特定搜索词在多个数据库和在线图书馆进行文献检索，找到了医疗环境中零响应者的当前定义。此外，还对手动搜索纳入文章中的参考文献以获得更多结果。总共纳入了16篇定义零响应者的论文。对这些定义进行了评估，并提出了一个修订定义，以阐明在与大规模伤亡事件相关的医疗环境中的角色。通过权威认可和提供足够的设备，可以促进零响应者发挥作用。救护服务部门熟悉零响应者的术语和角色对于有效协作至关重要。进一步研究并明确这两组人员的整合方式，对于促进他们之间有效且安全地合作是必要的。
