[Management of medical assistance to the victims of terrorist attacks in Mali].
Introduction: Recent suicide bombings have revealed a new type of massive influx of injured people, unique of its kind, which must be managed in Hospitals.
Methods: We here describe the experience in the management of medical assistance to the victims of terrorist attacks in Mali in the University Hospital Gabriel Toure in Bamako and in the Hospital N.Fomba in Segou.
Results: Sixty-four victims of three attacks were included in our study, among them 22 (34.4%) died on arrival. Ninety-seven percent of victims were men; the victims were native of Mali in 71% of cases. Fifty-one percent of participants had severe injuries; 35% of these participants had predominant lesions on their limbs. No victim included alive died during treatment at the Hospital.
Conclusion: The availability of accurate information's on the mechanisms and the severity of the lesions as well as prehospital medical treatment will reduce disaster-related morbi-mortality.
