About this listen

In part 9 of the Trauma Anesthesia Series, we dive into the critical topic of mass casualty events—what defines them, how hospitals respond when resources are overwhelmed, and the principles of patient triage that determine who gets treated first. Using real-world examples, we explore common triage algorithms, the color-coded tagging system, and the difficult but necessary decisions providers must make to save the greatest number of lives. The episode also addresses the emotional toll of these crises, highlighting second victim syndrome and the importance of resilience, mental health support, and teamwork for healthcare providers navigating these high-stakes situations.
