Patient characteristics and interventions at a trauma stabilization point in Gaza– a retrospective analysis
BACKGROUND: Timely prehospital care is essential in preventing trauma‐related deaths in conflict settings, yet civilian systems often lack the capacity for rapid stabilization and evacuation. Trauma Stabilization Points (TSPs), adapted from military models, have been introduced in Gaza to provide forward‐deployed triage and stabilization. This study describes patient characteristics, clinical presentations, interventions, and outcomes at a TSP op…
An application example of translational science in disaster medicine
The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 recognizes the importance of increasing resilience to disasters, a target that the Horizon 2020 funded project Novel Integrated Toolkit for Enhanced Pre-Hospital Life Support and Triage in Challenging and Large Emergencies (NIGHTINGALE) is aiming to achieve by supporting the preparedness of first responders during sudden onset disasters (SODs) and related mass casualty incidents (MCIs) th…
Medical students’ education in disaster medicine
Disaster Medicine (DM) is currently underrepresented in medical schools’ curricula worldwide, and existing DM courses for medical students are extremely heterogeneous due to the lack of pragmatic and standardized guidelines. Moreover, there is a gap in knowledge regarding the curriculum development methodology used for DM courses. This study aims to identify DM courses for medical students worldwide and to map their curriculum development methodo…
Implementation of the South African Triage Scale (Sats) in a New Ambulance System in Beira, Mozambique
In 2019, an urban ambulance system was deployed in the city of Beira, Mozambique to refer patients from peripheral health centres (HCs) to the only hospital of the city (Beira Central Hospital-HCB). Initially, the system worked following a first-in-first-out approach, thus leading to referrals not based on severity condition. With the aim of improving the process, the South African Triage Scale (SATS) has been subsequently introduced in three HCs…
Association between ambulance prehospital time and maternal and perinatal outcomes in Sierra Leone
INTRODUCTION: Sierra Leone, one of the countries with the highest maternal and perinatal mortality in the world, launched its first National Emergency Medical Service (NEMS) in 2018. We carried out a countrywide assessment to analyse NEMS operational times for obstetric emergencies in respect the access to timely essential surgery within 2 hours. Moreover, we evaluated the relationship between operational times and maternal and perinatal mortalit…
Just-in-Time Training in a Tertiary Referral Hospital During the Covid-19 Pandemic in Italy
The COVID-19 pandemic is threatening health systems worldwide, requiring extraordinary efforts to contain the virus and prepare health care systems for unprecedented situations. In this context, the entire health care workforce must be properly trained to guarantee an effective response. Just-in-time training has been an efficient solution for rapidly equipping health care workers with new knowledge, skills, and attitudes during emergencies; thus…
Improving Access to Healthcare in Sierra Leone
We aim to evaluate whether the first National Emergency Medical Service (NEMS) improved access to hospital care for the people of Sierra Leone. We performed an interrupted time-series analysis to assess the effects of NEMS implementation on hospital admissions in 25 facilities. The analysis was also replicated separately for the area of Freetown and the rest of the country. The study population was stratified by the main Free Health Care Initiati…
