Retour d’expérience des attentats du 13 novembre 2015. La régulation médicale zonale

Abstract

To face the multisite terrorist attacks on November 13, 2015, a medical zonal regulation system was set up at the Samu de Paris in order to coordinate the 8 Samu of the Îlede- France region. This system, by using a sectorization strategy of the medical means (mobile intensive care unit [MICU]) and hospital resources, enabled on site medicalization, regulation and transportation by medical teams of most of the patients presenting immediate emergencies. MICU and hospitals were kept available in case the situation had worsened (especially on the Bataclan site) or other attacks had occurred. The analysis of this experience shows many strong points but also useful areas of improvement for all those who might face such event.
