Tactical EMS: Mass Violence and Casualty
Tracking # 20-1133510
Course overview
A mass casualty incident (MCI) is an emergency event where there are more casualties than resources and capabilities available, which overwhelms the local healthcare system, including hospitals and emergency medical services (EMS), in a short timeframe (DeNolf & Kahwaji, 2022). In an MCI, responding EMS personnel will generally be assigned to the medical branch of the incident command system and may participate in triage, treatment, and transport of victims.
