Pediatric Disaster Medicine: Hospital Triage After a Shooting

Responding to a mass casualty incident involving pediatric gunshot wound victims requires rapid, coordinated action. In this practice simulation, a nearby mall shooting sends multiple pediatric gunshot wound victims to your fully staffed Level I Pediatric Trauma Center. Quickly assess each patient and assign them to Red, Yellow, or Green zones based on injury severity and available resources. Enroll in this simulation to practice triage during a pediatric trauma surge and coordinate urgent care with trauma surgeons and surgical teams.
