INTRODUCTION: Communication is key in efficient disaster management. However, in many major incidents, prehospital communication failure led to insufficient upscaling, safety concerns for the emergency responders, logistical problems and inefficient disaster management. METHODS: A review of medical reports and news articles of mass-casualty terrorist attacks was performed using PubMed-archived and (non-)governmental reports. The terrorist attacks in Tokyo 1995, Oklahoma 1995, Omagh 1998, New York 2001, Myyr-manni 2002, Istanbul 2003, Madrid 2004, London 2005, Oslo/Utøya 2011, Boston 2013, Paris 2015, Berlin 2016, Brussels 2016, Wuerzburg 2016, Manchester 2017, London 2017 were included...

INTRODUCTION: Terrorists increasingly aim at so-called soft targets, such as hospitals. However, little is known about terrorist attacks against Emergency Medical Services (EMS). OBJECTIVE: This study aims to review all documented terrorist attacks against EMS that occurred world-wide from 1970-2019 using the Global Terrorism Database (GTD). METHODS: Reports of terrorist attacks against EMS were extracted from the GTD from 1970-2019. Data collection included temporal factors, attack and weapon type, number of casualties, and if it was a primary or secondary attack (secondary attack: deliberate attack against the first responders of an initial terrorist attack)...

INTRODUCTION: Mass-casualty incidents (MCIs), specifically incidents with chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear agents (CBRN) or terrorist attacks, challenge medical coordination, rescue, availability, and adequate provision of prehospital and hospital-based emergency care. In the Netherlands, a new model for Mass Casualty and Disaster Management (MCDM) along with a Terror Attack Mitigation Approach (TAMA) was introduced in 2016. STUDY OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to provide insight in the first experiences of health policy advisors and managers with a medical rescue coordinator and ambulance nursing background regarding the new MCDM and TAMA in order to identify strengths and pitfalls in emergency preparedness and to provide recommendations for improvement...

INTRODUCTION: Mass-casualty incidents (MCIs) can occur outside of major metropolitan areas. In such circumstances, the nearest hospital seldom is a Level-1 Trauma Center. Moreover, emergency medical services (EMS) capabilities in such areas tend to be limited, which may compromise prehospital care and evacuation speed. The objective of this study was to extract lessons learned from the medical response to a terrorist event that occurred in the marketplace of a small Israeli town on 26 October 2005...

OBJECTIVE: To assess evacuation priorities during terror-related mass casualty incidents (MCIs) and their implications for hospital organization/contingency planning. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Trauma guidelines recommend evacuation of critically injured patients to Level I trauma centers. The recent MCIs in Israel offered an opportunity to study the impositions placed on a prehospital emergency medical service (EMS) regarding evacuation priorities in these circumstances...
