spenac Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 We actually do have agreements with schools already in place so that they will provide school busses for mass casualtys. Then we make them mobile hospitals. It requires improvisation as you are out of your comfort zone and limited supplys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the problem? Treating 15-20 people out of a standard trauma bag is all kinds of interesting. This is a good time to learn just how useful duct tape can be.

Not enough ambulances or medics load up the critical and treat them enroute to hospital with limited supplys. We do not follow the one medic/ one patient rule so many adhere to. Now if you get the band aid bus one basic can easily handle that with no supplys. Just cut their clothes. Fold it and tell them to keep it held over the wound, or make a sling with it, etc. Improvise. Trauma bag needs to be with real patients if supplys are limited. As to duct tape just make sure its white and document it as medical tape used to secure whatever. :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
