Ammonia Leak in ER

 “We initiated medical surge protocols that brought multiple staff and physicians to the emergency department. We had a full force of staff ready when the first individuals arrived,” says Clayton Francis, MD, GRMC emergency department physician. “We were also at shift change so we had another physician in addition to the responding physicians and myself, plus the emergency staff and hospital staff who responded to this code.”

Francis explains that when multiple injury trauma codes are called, the EMS team on the scene will triage the victims and transport based on severity.
