Mass-casualty preparation and response
Two new Panel Sessions at the 2013 ACS Clinical Congress will explore proper emergency responses that boost the possibility of human survival during mass-casualty events. Panel speakers at these sessions will share firsthand experiences and provide lessons learned, in addition to practical strategies on how to coordinate with federal and local agencies when responding to crisis situations.
PS331: Lessons Learned from the Boston Marathon Bombing
Wednesday, October 9, 8:00–9:30 am
Moderator: Michael J. Zinner, MD, FACS, ACS Regent
Co-Moderator: Michael F. Rotondo, MD, FACS, Chair, ACS Committee on Trauma
Participants will discuss the lessons learned from the April 15 Boston Marathon bombing, a civilian mass-casualty event.
The exercises that preceded the event and the ACS Committee on Trauma’s certification of five adult and one pediatric Level 1 trauma centers in Boston helped save the lives of all the victims who were transported to hospitals.
PS310: Mass-Casualty Shootings: Saving the Patients
Wednesday, October 9, 9:45–11:15 am
Moderator: Lenworth M. Jacobs, MD, FACS, ACS Regent
Co-Moderator: Michael F. Rotondo, MD, FACS, Chair, ACS Committee on Trauma
The ACS has partnered with numerous organizations, including the FBI, local police and fire departments, and emergency prehospital management, to prepare a document that will encourage cooperation among all agencies involved in managing mass-casualty events. A panel of representatives from these groups will provide practical strategies for attendees to apply in their communities.
Admission to Panel Sessions is included with each paid Clinical Congress registration. For more information on the scientific sessions at the ACS 2013 Clinical Congress and to register, view the ACS Clinical Congress Web page at http://www.facs.org/clincon2013/.
