“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.
