BBC “Casualty” NEWS BBC “Casualty” Infopoint help-points on BBC “Casualty” Infopoint has lent two help-points to the BBC television series ‘Casualty’. Ben Clarke, Project Manager, was approached by the show’s Series Designer for the loan of the help-points, to be located in the main entrance corridor and on the reception desk. Infopoint was happy to help and quickly arranged for the help-points - an Infopoint 6 and an Infopoint 3 - to be delivered to the BBC set in Cardiff. Owain Williams, BBC Casualty Series Designer, said, “As part of our role at BBC Casualty, the art department supply the equipment required to fulfill the demands of the script. We try to keep up-to-date with the most used healthcare equipment but we have limited budgets. Using companies like Infopoint is invaluable to achieving our aim of producing high quality, cutting edge drama.” The Infopoint 3 on the reception desk and the Infopoint 6 in the main entrance corridor have featured in many episodes of the last two series of the show. Ben Clarke, Infopoint Project Manager, said, “We were proud to be approached and more than happy to lend this equipment to the BBC. Infopoint help-points are an almost standard fixture in UK A&E departments so this helps to make the show more true to life.” The weekly TV series is the longest-running emergency medical drama in the World, having broadcast its first episode in 1986. “We chose Infopoint as they are market leaders. We were extremely happy with their positive response and subsequent involvement, which has allowed us create a very realistic A&E environment.”.

  • MASS CASUALTY TRAUMA TRIAGE PARADIGMS and PITFALLS July 2019
    1 Mass Casualty Trauma Triage - Paradigms and Pitfalls EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Emergency medical services (EMS) providers arrive on the scene of a mass casualty incident (MCI) and implement triage, moving green patients to a single area and grouping red and yellow patients using triage tape or tags. Patients are then transported to local hospitals according to their priority group. Tagged patients arrive at the hospital and are assessed and treated according to their priority. Though this triage process may not exactly describe your agency’s system, this traditional approach to MCIs is the model that has been used to train American EMS As a nation, we’ve got a lot providers for decades. Unfortunately—especially in of trailers with backboards mass violence incidents involving patients with time- and colored tape out there critical injuries and ongoing threats to responders and patients—this model may not be feasible and may result and that’s not what the focus in mis-triage and avoidable, outcome-altering delays of mass casualty response is in care. Further, many hospitals have not trained or about anymore. exercised triage or re-triage of exceedingly large numbers of patients, nor practiced a formalized secondary triage Dr. Edward Racht process that prioritizes patients for operative intervention American Medical Response or transfer to other facilities. The focus of this paper is to alert EMS medical directors and EMS systems planners and hospital emergency planners to key differences between “conventional” MCIs and mass violence events when: • the scene is dynamic, • the number of patients far exceeds usual resources; and • usual triage and treatment paradigms may fail.

  • Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) Response Module 1
    Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) Response Module 1 (Hamilton County Fire Chief's Association, 2013) 1 Objectives Purpose: This module will educate staff on mass casualty triage incident response, including how to: • Define mass casualty triage • Determine considerations for adults and pediatrics • Understand the importance of a patient tracking system • Recognize and implement the patient admission/ discharge MCI triage process • Determine how to appropriately handle the deceased in a large-scale MCI • Recognize the range of incidents that may cause MCIs 2 MCI Basics 3 What is an MCI? • A mass casualty incident (MCI) is an incident where the number of patients exceeds the amount of healthcare resources available. • This number varies widely across the country, but is typically greater than 10 patients. 4 Types of MCI Notifications • During a large scale incident such as a mass casualty, it is important to have a mass notification system. Successful mass notification systems will: . Internally: alert staff to activate MCI protocols and prepare for a potential surge of patients . Externally: increase community awareness 5 Assisting in MCI Response Considerations for hospital staff in an MCI: • Some patients may arrive to the hospital without having been assessed/ triaged at the scene • MCI response requires efficiency and coordination • Non-clinical personnel (including hospital volunteers) can assist in moving patients to designated areas based on level of care • Help gather patient information in the emergency treatment area • Staff should review patients in clinical assignment for any potential discharges/ transfers to make room for potential MCI admissions, a process known as “surge discharge” (Chung S, 2019) 6 Triage Basics Definition of MCI Triage Triage means “to sort.” Triage in an MCI is the assignment of resources based on the initial patient assessment and consideration of available resources.
