“…Acil servislerde farklı yaş ve ağırlıktaki çocukluklara uygun kateter, sonda, damar yolu malzemesi, serum ve ilaçların hazırda bulundurulması önemlidir. Hastane afet planı yapılırken pediatrik yaş grubu yaralıların farklı gereksinimleri göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır (7)(8)(9) .…”

Results: Injured people with no identification, multiple number of multiple-trauma victim admission within a short time, referrals exceeding the capacities of emergency services, laboratories, blood banks, radiology departments were the common issues encountered in both incidents. Necessity of using human and material sources efficiently, avoidance of unneccesary work-up, balancing work load by applicating triage among injured, making necessary preparations in the emergency services before the casualties arrived to the hospital, continuation of health care services by scheduling shifts after the stabilization of the initial acute phase were the lessons taken from these experiences. Conclusion: Prearranged hospital disaster plan may reduce these possible problems to a minimum level. The fact that traumatic events that may injure or cause them to lose their lives essentially requires integration of disaster medicine into the education of pediatric surgery.

Bu makalede, yakın zamanda Türkiye'de yaşananlar ışığında afet durumlarında hastanelerde karşılaşılan zorluklar ve bu durumla karşılaşan çocuk cerrahlarının deneyimlerinin irdelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. elazığ'daki Bombalı saldırı ve sonrasında YaşananlarElazığ il merkezinde 18 Ağustos 2016 perşembe günü Alındığı tarih:

“…Recent earthquakes, such as those in China (2008) and Haiti (2010) have involved paediatric victims, emphasising the need for paediatric disaster preparedness (Burke et al, 2010). "Distinctive physiological, developmental, and psychological attributes of children make them one of the most challenging populations to treat during mass casualty incidents" (Burke et al, 2010).…”

Abstract:Purpose -This paper aims to evaluate emergency department (ED) design space planning approaches and draw lessons for developing more resilient and integrated ED guidelines. Two key objectives have been set; these include: exploring potential factors affecting the ED performance, and investigate how ED space planning is addressed internationally through the evaluation of international case studies and design guidelines. Design/methodology/approach -A robust research method has been adopted including comprehensive literature review in addition to 76 case studies from Italy and the USA. Findings -Findings show that the important factors in defining ED space requirements are attendance variability, vulnerable groups and mass casualty events. The study concludes that current design guidelines and approaches need to be updated to meet with the current and future demand by taking into account design performance: effectiveness, efficiency and resilience, to avoid underestimating ED space; and that the US EDs are in a better position, than Italian EDs, to increase capacity when needed. Originality/value -The contribution of this study is in providing a tangible "understanding" of factors influencing ED design and prepares a firm ground to develop more resilient and integrated design guidelines, able to meet current, exceptional and long-term needs of EDs. The study also shows that research can provide a valuable contribution to improve ED design which needs to feed more in practice to improve design process and guidelines.

“…[23][24][25] Reflections by responders to recent disasters have spawned many recommendations for simulation exercises, national deployment teams, and responder certification. 12,16,21,[26][27][28] With regional instabilities rampant and climate change predicted to increase the number of natural disasters worldwide, the United Nations Children' s Fund and the Office for Disaster Risk Reduction have focused on disaster risk reduction through educational campaigns principally in counties and regions with high risks for disaster. [29][30][31][32] They have also advocated for the inclusion of children' s voices in planning, in an effort to fulfill the United Nations mandate for patient independence.…”
