집회시위로 인한 손상유형 분석을 통한 응급의료기관의 재난대책 = Disaster Planning in the Emergency Department by Using anAnalysis of Injuries Related to Assembly and Demonstration

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

P u r p o s e: This study is to enable emergency centers to
adequately cope with a vast number of demonstration-related
injured patients by using an interventional study. With
this analysis, emergency centers can hopefully prepare with
adequate manpower, equipment and resources.
M e t h o d s: We reviewed the medical records of 117 patients
with injuries related assembly and demonstration who visited
the Emergency Medical Center of St. Mary’s Hospital
from Aug 13, 1999, to Jan 31, 2004 (pre-intervention state).
These patients were analyzed according to sex, age, the
severity of injury, the presence of a laceration, the injury
mechanism, the final diagnosis, and the areas of the injury.
Using these data, we established a disaster plan, then, we
applied that plan to 59 patients who visited the Emergency
Medical Center during Feb 2004 (post-interventional preliminary
study).
R e s u l t s: The common areas of the injury were the face
(35.1%), the head (33.1%), and the extremities (25.4%)
during the pre-intervention state. The number of patients
with lacerations was 61 (52.1%). According to this, we
established our own external hospital disaster plan. During
the preliminary post-interventional study, the plan reduced
the length of hospital stay, the delayed time to radiology,
and the not-sutured rate (p< 0 . 0 5 ) .
C o n c l u s i o n: When patients injured during violent demonstrations
are expected, local emergency care hospitals need
to prepare manpower, resources, and supplies for facial
and head lacerations and apply their disaster plan.
