We are closing in on clinical conditions as we look at the "systems" triggered at our medical facilities when Mass Casualty Surge impinges on daily operations. This board can be at least a two-thread discussion.
THREAD 1
What are your analytical (how? why? what if?) and evaluative (so what? what's next?) thoughts surrounding the Sunrise Hospital Level II Trauma Center response and management of the medical surge from the Route 91 Harvest Festival mass shooting? How would you consider doing it differently, under similar conditions? What assumptions related to hospital external disaster planning appear patently false? Which are true? Was the Sunrise response effective? Did it depend on a single leader? Why? Why Not?
THREAD 2
Thread 2 should focus on the aspect of a "non-standard" system, that many Trauma Receiver's intuitively apply, but has been refined here as the Menes Triage System. What are your thoughts (remember, we need to shift from single casualty/multi-casualty A-B-C-D-E to mass casualty experience with a plethora of "red class" patients?
