Abstract

Background: Shooting events in hospitals are increasing in frequency, with the emergency department (ED) being the most common site of such events. EDs must be prepared for shooting events, but current practices surrounding active shooter preparation are unknown.

Objective: To determine what active shooter training emergency medicine physicians are receiving.

Methods: A survey was developed to assess current practices around active shooter preparation in EDs. The survey was distributed to members of the American College of Emergency Physicians' Emergency Medicine Practice Research Network. All members of the Emergency Medicine Practice Research Network are currently practicing emergency medicine physicians.

Results: There were 194 respondents. The most common form of training received was online (76/194), followed by lecture (50/194). Only 39 respondents had participated in an active shooter drill. Sixty-five respondents (33 percent) reported having never received any formal active shooter training.

Conclusion: There is a wide array of active shooter training that emergency medicine physicians are receiving, with nearly one-third receiving no training at all.

急诊科主动射击训练：2020 年现行做法调查。

背景：医院发生枪击事件的频率越来越高，而急诊科（ED）是发生此类事件最常见的场所。急诊科必须为枪击事件做好准备，但目前围绕主动枪击事件的准备工作尚不清楚：目的：确定急诊科医生正在接受哪些主动枪击事件培训：方法：开展一项调查，以评估急诊室在主动枪击事件准备方面的现行做法。调查表分发给了美国急诊医师学会急诊医学实践研究网络的成员。急诊医学实践研究网络的所有成员都是目前正在执业的急诊医师：结果：共有 194 名受访者。最常见的培训形式是在线培训（76/194），其次是讲座（50/194）。只有 39 名受访者参加过主动枪击演习。65 名受访者（33%）称从未接受过任何正规的主动枪击事件培训：结论：急诊科医生接受的主动枪击事件培训种类繁多，近三分之一的医生没有接受过任何培训。

期刊介绍： With the publication of the American Journal of Disaster Medicine, for the first time, comes real guidance in this new medical specialty from the country"s foremost experts in areas most physicians and medical professionals have never seen…a deadly cocktail of catastrophic events like blast wounds and post explosion injuries, biological weapons contamination and mass physical and psychological trauma that comes in the wake of natural disasters and disease outbreak. The journal has one goal: to provide physicians and medical professionals the essential informational tools they need as they seek to combine emergency medical and trauma skills with crisis management and new forms of triage.
