MASS CASUALTY MANAGEMENT WORKSHOP ENDED WITH TEAM SPIRIT AT SUNYANI REGIONAL HOSPITAL

A two days Mass Casualty  workshop for staff of Accident & Emergency Unit of the Sunyani regional hospital ended with renewed skills, competencies and knowledge in handling accident victims. The workshop brought together staff of the Accident and Emergency Bay, Ward, theatre and other paramedical departments of the hospital as well as some Emergency   Nurses & Critical Care Nurse from the Sunyani Municipal hospital. The workshop forms part of the 2019 strategic plan put in place to ensure that all staff are equipped with adequate and current skills in handling accident victims. The workshop was two in one: theory and practicals ( moulage Simulation). A life scene was created where an accident case was announced, the emergency prepares to receive the victims of the accident. Various departments of the emergency got ready with all the necessary logistics and equipments. We had the commanding officer, communication officer, triage officer, logistics officer, Security officer, morgue attendant, ambulance driver, medical officer and various departments of the triage units: 

# Red Unit

# Yellow Unit

#Green Unit

# Black Unit

# Referral Unit

All the above Units were ready to receive their respective patients based on the results of the triage. I watched with much glee how skills and competence we're being displaced by the emergency response team. Two patients died in the accident scenario but later resurrected, 9 patients were in critical condition, 9 cases were stable, 6 patients were referred to the regional hospital sunyani for further medical management. As we have being seeing in accident cases, relatives and significant others try to come to the scene in their emotional attempt to help the helpless, security is needed in an emergency to situation to keep the traffic from interfering with the work of the health experts in such situations. A lot of people were drawn to the scene from various departments of the hospital to witness the simulation excercise.
