  • Title: Mobilization of trauma teams for aircraft disasters.
    Author: Star LD, Abelson LC, Delguercio LR, Pritchett C.
    Journal: Aviat Space Environ Med; 1980 Nov; 51(11):1262-6. PubMed ID: 7213276.
    Abstract:
    With more survivors of air crashes involving jumbo jets, an improved plan for life-saving emergency care at the crash site is discussed. The concept of airlifting predesignated Trauma Teams to the crash site from large medical centers within a radius of 100 miles is discussed. The "work-shop" for these teams is described in detail, providing an operating and intensive care facility at the scene of the disaster. It is shown how this kind of planning can be applied to natural disasters with multiple casualties as well as to airport disasters.
