Mass Casualty Events (MCEs) can be categorized by chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, explosive emergencies, and natural disasters. MCEs can stress and overwhelm first responders and the healthcare system charged with caring for the affected patients. Medical professionals must expand their scope of care and emergency preparedness to better respond to these traumatic situations. Hospital and departmental planning will assist healthcare facilities with effective triage and care for large-scale public health emergencies.
