Role of Nurses, Emergency Medicine Technicians, Radiologists and Laboratories in Emergency Mass Incident Management

Abstract

Emergency mass incidents, such as natural disasters, terrorist attacks, and pandemics, pose significant challenges to healthcare systems. Effective management requires a multidisciplinary approach involving nurses, emergency medicine technicians (EMTs), radiologists, and laboratories. This paper explores the critical roles of these professionals in mass casualty response, emphasizing their responsibilities, collaborative efforts, and the technological and logistical challenges they face. Nurses act as both first responders and coordinators, EMTs provide prehospital stabilization, radiologists enable rapid and precise diagnoses, and laboratories ensure accelerated diagnostic support. Through detailed analysis, this study highlights the need for specialized training, advanced technologies, and systemic preparedness to enhance the efficiency of emergency mass incident management.
