A Review of Mass Casualty Management
 Company Officer: First five minutes
 MCI Plan: New Changes
 Division of Labor: Groups and Units
Initial Size-up
Phase 1
 Look for SLUDGE
 Identify immediate hazards
 Consider access/egress options
 Observe base/staging options
 Estimate number of patients
More Size-up
Phase 2
 Estimate number of non-ambulatory patients
 Consider extrication/relocation issues
 Scene status: Static or Dynamic?
 Decide: Complex…not complex
No SLUDGE
No Fire, stable scene
Southbound lanes open
Overpass intact
Patients walking around
6-10 Reds
Simple extrication
Static scene
Commanding the radio
 Provide size-up
 Initiate command
 Initial assignments
 Safety & handline
 Triage
 Treatment
 Request “base” resources
 Request “transport”
resources
Requesting Resources
 Basic MCI Activities
 Rescue/Extrication
 Treatment/Transport
 Ambulance staging
 Complex Activities
 Fire
 Hazard Material
 CBRNE
 Collapse
Maintain the Transportation Corridor!
Physical Actions of the First-in Crew

Revised 2011 MCI Plan: WHY?
 Reduce choke points
 Suspend unnecessary actions
 Improve division of labor
 Increase plan scalability for all events
 Simplify patient tracking
 Align plan with NIMS Concepts
MCI Changes at a glance
 Develop “Rescue Group” to move patients
 Eliminate formal funnel point
 Eliminate use of treatment tags
 Elimination of patient numbering (felt pen)
 NIMS Terms: Hospital Control is now Disaster

Are you doing the job…or leading it?
Unit Leader/Group Supervisor
 Don the vest
 Understand Action Plan
 Determine supervisors role
 Develop organization
 Develop relationships
 Maintain accountability
 Provide progress reports
So, who does Triage?
 Rapid Field Triage -BLS
 Minimal Treatment
 Who Supervises Triage:


Medical Group
Rescue Group
 Secondary Triage – ALS
Current Triage Systems

Move only those who will
have a condition change
Treatment Unit
 Locate suitable area
 Secure supplies
 Develop treatment
teams
 Determine transport
priorities
Treatment Unit
 Reasons for a Treatment Area
 Visual indicator for injured
 No transportation available
 Immediate life-saving treatment
 Move the reds, hold others
 Assure appropriate treatment
 Use Aid/Medic Units for supplies
 Prioritize patients for transport

Use a “Treatment Dispatch Manager”
 Benchmarks:
 All reds transported
 All patients transported

 Assure DMCC activation
 Establish Ambulance
Staging
 Confirm transporting
resources are inbound
 Coordinate patient
loading
 Track Destinations
Transportation Unit
 Apply patient trackers
 Communicate with DMCC
 Receive patient destination
 Manage documentation
 Benchmarks:

Tracking
 All transport capable
vehicles in King County
will have tracking bands
 Typically applied at the
ambulance loading or
DMCC activity area.
 Ensures that all patients
have a tracking band
Tracking
 Retain one peel-off
sticker on a tracking
board
 All MSO’s and Medic
Units will have tracking
sheets
 Tracking sheets allow for
sticker or Barcode
tracking
Tracking
 Instruct all transporting
personnel to place a
tracking sticker on the
portion of the MIRF
that will stay with
the hospital.
 The transporting agency
will also retain one
sticker

Summary of Key Points for MCI
 Secure the transport corridor
 Keep transport units staged separately
 Medics focus on Medical/Treatment/Transport
 Early notification of DMCC
 Suppression focus on Rescue/Extraction
 Perform secondary triage before transport
 Separate loading from DMCC activities
