Timings of pre-hospital life-saving interventions in mass casualty incidents: an observational simulation study
We provide data on the time taken for LSIs in a simulated pre-hospital environment. Nearly all LSIs were completed within two minutes, yet PHCPs overestimated the time it takes to perform them. Approaches to the triage process may need to be reviewed in light of these data. There are further opportunities to streamline the delivery of some interventions.
