Area of Science:

  • Disaster Medicine
  • Emergency Services Management
  • Public Health Preparedness

Context:

  • The Marmara earthquake presented significant challenges to healthcare systems.
  • Emergency Services (ES) faced difficulties in managing patient influx and prioritizing care.
  • The study focuses on the immediate aftermath of a major seismic event.

Purpose:

  • To report the operational difficulties encountered by Emergency Services (ES) post-Marmara earthquake.
  • To identify and recommend preventive measures, with a specific focus on the triage procedure.
  • To analyze clinical outcomes and ES performance during a mass casualty event.

Summary:

  • The study reviewed clinical results and hospital records from patients treated in ES following the Marmara earthquake.
  • A high mortality rate of 4.5% was observed within the first 48 hours post-disaster.
  • The primary difficulty identified was determining patient priority for emergency treatment.

Impact:

  • Implementing effective triage protocols in disaster areas can significantly reduce mortality.
  • Early first aid and triage at collection sites are vital for mitigating disaster-related harm.
  • Findings provide critical insights for improving disaster response and emergency medical services.
