A Survey Assessment of the Level of Preparedness for Domestic Terrorism and Mass Casualty Incidents among Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma Members

Abstract

A facility's level of pre-paredness for MCIs or WMD was not related to level of designation as a trauma center, but may be positively influenced by local physicians with prior military background. Benchmark information from this survey will provide the architecture for the development and implementation of further training in these areas for trauma surgeons.
