I Arrived At An MCI… Now What?
This presentation takes you past how to do S.T.A.R.T. Triage. It teaches the responder how to establish the supervisory positions of Incident Command, Medical Command, Triage, Treatment, Transport, and Safety with the first two or three arriving units. The EMT will walk away with knowledge in how to provide a size-up, how to effectively staff staging areas, and incorporate Air Medical into an effective Incident Management Plan. We will talk about how to manage the MCI when staffing is limited, as well as balancing patient care vs. scene management when EMS is overwhelmed. Interactive demonstrations and a “get-out-of-your-seat-and-try-it” atmosphere are the way we learn in this presentation. Approx 1 hour. Powerpoint presentation with student interaction. Intended for First Responders, EMT’s, Paramedics, and Command Officers.
Objectives:
- Identify what positions need to be filled and their roles, in order to successfully manage an MCI.
- Identify the actions of the people on the first two arriving units and how they can fill the initial supervisory positions.
- Review the ICS of a Mass Casualty Incident, and apply it practically to your area and resources.
