Summary

Following a major disaster from which a large number of casualties result, a community’s ability to rescue, triage, transport, evaluate, and treat these casualties quickly and effectively leads to the best possible outcome. The best outcomes occur if treatment is judiciously applied within the “golden hour,” the 60 minutes following the injury to the patient.
