The only rational approach to the potential chaos of a mass disaster is thoughtful predisaster preparation and realistic but optimistic confrontation of the situation. An appropriate response implies accurate assessment of the magnitude of the disaster, the establishment of a reliable and effective communication system, a realistic inventory of and provision for sustained personnel and logistical support, and proper triage of individual casualties. It is incumbent upon the medical community to provide imaginative and creative responses to the concept of mass casualty management, and for all physicians involved to function in the generic sense as trauma surgeons.
应对大规模灾难可能带来的混乱，唯一合理的方法是在灾难发生前进行周全的准备，并以现实而乐观的态度面对局势。恰当的应对措施包括准确评估灾难的规模，建立可靠有效的通信系统，切实清点并提供持续的人员和后勤支持，以及对单个伤员进行合理分诊。医学界有责任对大规模伤亡管理的理念做出富有想象力和创造性的回应，所有参与其中的医生都应从广义上发挥创伤外科医生的作用。
