The truck bomb explosion, estimated to be the equivalent of 21,000 lbs of TNT, and regarded as the largest nonnuclear explosion since World War II, caused what was then the most lethal single-day death toll for the US Marine Corps since the Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II. Considerable neurological injury resulted from the bombing. Of the 112 survivors, 37 had head injuries, 2 had spinal cord injuries, and 9 had peripheral nerve injuries. Concussion, scalp laceration, and skull fracture were the most common cranial injuries.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    Within minutes of the explosion, the Commander Task Force 61\/62 Mass Casualty Plan was implemented by personnel aboard the USS\n                    <jats:italic>Iwo Jima<\/jats:italic>\n                    . The wounded were triaged according to standard protocol at the time. Senator Humphreys, chairman of the Preparedness Committee and a corpsman in the Korean War, commented that he had never seen such a well-executed evolution. This was the result of meticulous preparation that included training not only of the medical personnel but also of volunteers from the ship\u2019s company, frequent drilling with other shipboard units, coordination of resources throughout the ship, the presence of a meticulous senior enlisted man who carefully registered each of the wounded, the presence of trained security forces, and a drilled and functioning communication system.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Viewed through the lens of a neurosurgeon, the 1983 bombings and mass casualty event impart important lessons in preparedness. Medical personnel should be trained specifically to handle the kinds of injuries anticipated and should rehearse the mass casualty event on a regular basis using mock-up patients. Neurosurgery staff should participate in training and planning for events alongside other clinicians. Training of nurses, corpsmen, and also nonmedical personnel is essential. In a large-scale evolution, nonmedical personnel may monitor vital signs, work as scribes or stretcher bearers, and run messages. It is incumbent upon medical providers and neurosurgeons in particular to be aware of the potential for mass casualty events and to make necessary preparations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/2018.9.focus18390","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,26]],"date-time":"2019-02-26T20:40:24Z","timestamp":1551213624000},"page":"E18","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["The shipboard Beirut terrorist bombing experience: a historical account and recommendations for preparedness in events of mass neurological injuries"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"Zachary S.","family":"Hubbard","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, The Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fraser","family":"Henderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, The Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rocco A.","family":"Armonda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and Washington Hospital Center, Washington, DC; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alejandro M.","family":"Spiotta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, The Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"Rosenbaum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Metropolitan Neurosurgery Group, Bethesda, Maryland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fraser","family":"Henderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Metropolitan Neurosurgery Group, Bethesda, Maryland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1","series-title":"Prehosp Disaster Med","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"220","DOI":"10.1017\/S1049023X00001096","article-title":"Mass-casualty, terrorist bombings: epidemiological outcomes, resource utilization, and time course of emergency needs (Part I)","volume":"18","author":"Arnold JL","year":"2003","unstructured":"Arnold JL, Tsai MC, Halpern P, Smithline H, Stok E, Ersoy G: Mass-casualty, terrorist bombings: epidemiological outcomes, resource utilization, and time course of emergency needs (Part I).
