Overview
The Trauma Plan is a set of measures to mitigate the consequences of injury in emergencies and crisis situations. It was activated at the First Surgical Clinic of the General University Hospital in December 2023, on the day of the tragic shooting in the building of the Faculty of Arts of Charles University in Prague. Thanks to the practice activations, teams, premises and beds were prepared within 20 minutes without complications.
An exceptional case was a gunshot wound that occurred at 350 meters (on the other bank of the Vltava River), the origin of which, however, the patient-foreigner was not aware of and was reported as a fracture of the femur after a fall while fleeing.
