Abstract

This study evaluated the medical response drill for mass burn injuries at district and provincial hospitals. The results showed that the medical facilities were properly implementing the steps in the process. Triage results were ensured 100% correct as a scenario. The diagnosis and treatment of burn injuries, proficiency in the use of equipment and transportation have achieved results of 80% or more.


Diagnosis of inhalation injury, diagnosis and treatment of co-trauma at district hospitals only reached 66.67% which should be improved. Through the lessons learned from the drills, handling future mass-burn injuries will be better for both victims and healthcare workers.
