Critical Care Organization During Mass Hospitalization

摘要

This paper represents the experiment of organization of work of the Nalchik Republican Clinical Hospital on October 13th, 2005 (on the date of an attempt of assault upon the city). During 5 h, 66 people had been hospitalized with different injuries. Owing to organizational arrangements diagnostic research was effectively carried out and there was not any surgery delay. On the whole 98 surgical interferences to 64 wounded patients were performed. Four injured victims died (6.1%), including three (5%) victims dying in the first few hours after being admitted due to the massive destruction of the internal organs and a state of shock, and one person died of sepsis following multiple operations as a result of injury to the abdomen and perineum. The remaining 62 (93.9%) patients were discharged at different times after successful treatment.
