2019年3月,太平洋儿科医师协会在基督城举行了年度会议,新西兰,在经历了2010年和2011年的毁灭性地震后,这座通常和平的城市正在重建。会议结束后的第二天,附近的两座清真寺发生了可怕的暴行,仅在一个小时内,医院就遭受了25年的重大枪伤。医院和它的工作人员的显着反应,概述了受害者和更广泛的社区。尽管手术反应令人印象深刻,仍然可以吸取教训。这些与由于ED被人员伤亡淹没而缺乏警告的后果有关,灾难发生在医院附近时,独家经营的影响,围绕记录保存的限制,专家支持迅速进入ED,抢先压力点,指定两个关键目的地,避免患者在成像后返回ED,服务之间的灵活性和协作的重要性,事件发生后几周内对医院正常活动的影响以及受害者的行为。PAPS对这一事件的反应同样令人印象深刻:符合其对全球儿童护理和福利的长期承诺,我们的组织,通过克赖斯特彻奇基金会捐赠了超过40,000美元,用于为受害者的孩子提供奖学金,以支持他们的高等教育。从悲剧中可以出现最好的人类品质。
In March 2019 the Pacific Association of Pediatric Surgeons held its annual conference in
Christchurch, New Zealand, a normally peaceful city that was in the process of rebuilding following the devastating earthquakes of 2010 and 2011. Then the day after the conference concluded a horrendous atrocity was committed in two nearby mosques which presented the hospital with 25 years of major gunshot injuries in just one hour. The remarkable response of the hospital and its staff, the victims and the broader community are outlined. Although the surgical response was impressive, lessons could still be learnt. These related to the consequences of the lack of warning as the ED was flooded with casualties, the effects of scoop and run when a disaster occurs near a hospital, limitations around record keeping, the rapid arrival of expert support into ED, pre-empting pressure points, designation of two key destinations and avoiding patient return to ED after imaging, the importance of flexibility and collaboration between services, the consequences on normal hospital activity in the weeks following the incident and the behaviour of victims. The response of PAPS to the event was no less impressive: consistent with its longstanding commitment to the care and welfare of children around the globe, our organisation, donated over $40,000 through the
Christchurch Foundation towards scholarships for the children of the victims to support their higher education. Out of tragedy can emerge the finest human qualities.
