Prehospital Response Time Delays for Emergency Patients in Events of Concurrent Mass Casualty Incidents.
We investigated the extent of delays in the response time of emergency medical services (EMS) as an impact of mass casualty incidences (MCIs) in the same area. ⋯ There were significant delays in the prehospital response time for emergency patients after MCIs, and it lasted for 2 hours as the spillover effect.
