Emergency radiology and mass casualty incidents—report of a mass casualty incident at a level 1 trauma center

Emergency Radiology, 2016
The aims of this article are to describe the events of a recent mass casualty incident (MCI) at our level 1 trauma center and to describe the radiology response to the event. We also describe the findings and recommendations of our radiology department after-action review. An MCI activation was triggered after an amphibious military vehicle, repurposed

Effective allocation of casualties to hospitals in mass casualty incidents

IEEE Conference Anthology, 2013
The effective allocation of casualties amongst hospitals represents a crucial element of the response to any mass casualty incident. We propose a mathematical model to assist in achieving such a distribution by providing a means to evaluate and compare any proposed allocations.

Deployment of field hospitals in mass casualty incidents

Computers & Industrial Engineering, 2014
We propose an analysis framework to determine the location and size of emergency service facilities to be established after a disaster to cope with the demand surge. We utilize a multi-period mixed integer programming (MIP) model that simultaneously optimizes capacity allocation and casualty transportation decisions in order to provide emergency ...
