| ABSTRACT |
|
A multicasuality incident usually refers to an isolated, geographically focused event which produces a limited number of casualities that are managed within a community. Our emergency department(ED) was experienced two cases of multicasuality events in Taegu, Korea. And we could gain experience with in-ED-community multicasuality events management.
We tried to analyse emergency department disaster management in the review of two com munity muticasuality events including fall downing accident and food poisoning.
The result of ED management survey shows the importance of the hospital's disaster plan to presuppose a large influx of patients, notification of the hospital, mobilization of additional personnel resources including triage and trauma team and preparation of ED space and beds.
