Assessment of Emergency Medical Rescue Ability of Secondary and Tertiary Hospitals in One City Responding to the Risk of Production and Storage of Hazardous Chemicals

Abstract

Introduction:

With the development of the economy and the expansion of the hazardous chemicals industry in one city, it is necessary for the city to establish an evaluation model of emergency medical rescue capability for hazardous chemicals production, storage, and exposure risk.

Aim:

Establish an emergency medical rescue capacity evaluation model for secondary and higher hospitals in a city to deal with exposure risks of hazardous chemicals.

Methods:

1. 1. Develop an expert consultation form

2. 2. Develop a survey on the status quo of emergency medical rescue capacity of hospitals in secondary and above hospitals in response to exposure and risk of hazardous chemicals production and storage.

3. 3. Calculate the weights of the first, second, and third-grade indicators, and establish a comprehensive evaluation model for the rescue capacity assessment of Chengdu hospitals.

Results:

Five levels of first-level indicators were obtained, namely, the weights of the five indicators of “centralized admission ability,” “hospital comprehensive ability,” “emergency management ability,” “material equipment capability,” and “health emergency team” were 0.2884, 0.2219, 0.1938, 0.1507, and 0.1453, respectively.

Discussion:

The establishment of an emergency medical rescue capacity evaluation model for the risk of exposure and storage of hazardous chemicals in secondary and higher hospitals in a city is related to five capabilities, the most important of which is the ability to focus on admission.
