Abstract

Burn mass casualty event occurrences are rare but will place significant burdens on any burn unit or healthcare system. Effective disaster preparedness plays a significant role in mitigating the aftermath of a burn mass casualty. The aim of this study was to assess the resource requirements during the initial two weeks of a burn mass casualty event. Eight patients in a burn mass casualty event were simulated using the Emergo Train System®. These simulated patients were matched with real historical patients treated in our burn centre, and their resource requirements were analysed. An average of eight staff is required to care for a patient per day along with almost 75 h of operating time (excluding anaesthesia and turnover time). A substantial quantity of consumables was used in the first two weeks. This study has demonstrated the substantial material consumption and staff requirements in the first two weeks of management in a burn mass casualty event. Such findings will offer valuable insight for disaster preparedness planning and resource management strategies.
烧伤大面积伤亡事件中的资源需求
烧伤大面积伤亡事件很少发生,但会给任何烧伤单位或医疗保健系统带来沉重负担。有效的备灾工作在减轻烧伤大规模伤亡事件的后果方面发挥着重要作用。本研究旨在评估烧伤大面积伤亡事件发生后最初两周的资源需求。使用 Emergo Train System® 模拟了烧伤大面积伤亡事件中的八名患者。这些模拟病人与在我们烧伤中心接受治疗的真实历史病人相匹配,并对其资源需求进行了分析。平均每天需要八名工作人员护理一名患者,以及近 75 小时的手术时间(不包括麻醉和周转时间)。头两周使用了大量消耗品。这项研究表明,在烧伤大面积伤亡事件中,头两周的物资消耗和人员需求量都很大。这些发现将为备灾规划和资源管理战略提供宝贵的启示。
