“…During a crisis, emergency rescue work can encounter various problems in the team management structure, internal stability, and support. The bricolage EMTs could be more disorderly, with an incomplete organizational structure, a strong tendency to be arbitrary in allocating and adjusting health human resources, and a lack of personnel admission mechanisms (25,26). This study aimed to develop a theoretical model for improving the emergency management ability of full-time EMTs.…”

“…Lei et al mentioned that the current rescue system in China suffers from dispersed forces, leading to a lack of standardized continuing education and training mechanisms. The majority of personnel have not received rescue training, resulting in inadequate professional skills needed to meet the needs of rescue work (26). There are two main factors contributing to this issue.…”

IntroductionEmergency medical rescue plays a vital role in alleviating the harm of all kinds of emergencies to people's physical and mental health and life safety. The current emergency medical teams (EMTs) formation model is not unified. We focused on the disadvantages of the bricolage mode of China EMTs and put forward empirical-based countermeasures to improve the emergency management ability of EMTs.MethodsFrom March to September 2022, 23 leaders of EMTs in North China (Tianjin) were selected by objective sampling method to conduct one-to-half structured in-depth interviews. Nvivo12.0 software was used for three-level coding. The disadvantages of the bricolage model of EMT were analyzed.ResultsBased on the three-level coding, 150 initial concepts, 36 sub-coding, 17 main coding, six categories, and two core categories were sorted out. Management structure, internal stability, and support are recognized as the crucial elements armed with the EMTs.DiscussionThe bricolage EMTs have disadvantages such as a chaotic management structure, weak internal stability, and inadequate support. It is necessary to construct full-time EMTs that incorporate a standardized personnel admission mechanism, full-time training and exercise mechanism, diversified incentive mechanism, and multi-agent cooperation mechanism, etc.

“…With a guiding principle of “portable small equipment, modular conventional equipment, motorized large equipment,” 18 three kinds of emergency medical requirements were developed: search-and-rescue equipment, medical and health care equipment, and logistics equipment. The national search-and-rescue teams are equipped with multiple types of emergency medical equipment, including portable equipment, box-grouped equipment, tent hospitals, mobile hospitals, and shelter hospitals 19 …”

Disaster can strike people in any community at any time anywhere in the world. Disasters occur with high frequency, take on multiple forms, and exert wide influence, typically causing property damage, injuries, and death. As the world's largest developing country, China incurs great costs when a disaster hits. After the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, the Chinese government focused its attention on the construction of an emergency response system, the creation of disaster prevention and mitigation systems, and the development of a disaster medicine program. Here, we describe the current status of disaster medicine in China, focusing on the following four aspects: the Emergency Management System, Education & Training, Rescue Practices, and Research. We also discuss the future of disaster medicine in China. (Disaster Med Public Health Preparedness. 2018;12:157-165).

“…Team members are usually distributed across every division of the hospital, and once an order is given, the members immediately gather along with the corresponding equipment to go into action. 7 When performing a task, the team can adjust the composition of each group in a timely and reasonable way.…”

In recent years, with the increasingly frequent variety of large-scale disasters that have happened in China, the Chinese People’s Armed Police Forces (PAP) has undertaken increasingly frequent and diversified tasks, which has led to greater requirements for the construction of emergency medical rescue equipment. Therefore, as determined by the characteristics of the PAP’s tasks and based on the construction of special boxes and frame tent equipment, a new PAP mobile rescue hospital system was successfully developed, and all PAP provincial-level medical rescue teams have been equipped with this system. In the present article, we describe this mobile rescue hospital system, which is mainly composed of professional emergency vehicles, frame-type tents, and advanced medical equipment. The system has the following characteristics: significant integration, a fast response, flexibility, and practicability. The mobile rescue system is generally used as the army’s own health service support system and to provide certain emergency medical rescue services to disaster-stricken people. The successful construction and further application of this system have significance in terms of accelerating the response of rescue teams and the emergency treatment ability of the PAP’s provincial-level emergency medical rescue teams.
