Tracing a medical evacuation site is the process of determining and designating the rational location of functional units on a selected area of the terrain for their deployment. The goal of this process is to create a safe and effective site capable of providing medical care in emergency situations.
The first step in locating a medical evacuation site is to identify its main functional units. This could be, for example, an emergency department, a reception and triage department, a dressing room, an operating room, an intensive care unit, etc. Each of these units should be located in such a way as to provide maximum access to them and facilitate the work of medical personnel.
The next step is to determine the location of each functional unit. This can be done either using a topographic map or by direct measurements on the ground. It is important to consider factors such as the distance between units, the availability of roads and entrances, as well as the ability to ensure security and protection from external threats.
After determining the locations of functional units, it is necessary to trace each unit. For this, special tools are used, such as a tape measure, ruler, etc. It is important to observe all the necessary sizes and distances between objects.
In addition, it is necessary to consider the possibility of using additional resources such as electricity, water, sewerage, etc. It is also necessary to assess the level of safety and security of the medical evacuation site.
Overall, site routing of the medical evacuation phase is an important process that allows for the creation of a safe and effective site for the provision of medical care in emergency situations.
Tracing is a critical activity during hospital deployment. Tracing should be designed in accordance with the hospital's signage system. In all cases, at a peacetime medical station there should be a functional unit that manages the work of the station and carries out work to ensure its daily functioning. Other functional units are placed in such a way that their placement best suits the achievement of the objectives of the functioning of this structural unit. The placement of functional units on top of each other is excluded. The functional unit should always be located as close as possible to the site of the future deployment of the tent city. For the most rational use of the territory of the medical station in terms of organizing internal life support, all medical, diagnostic and auxiliary units must be located, taking into account the concept of multifunctionality of the station’s activities. Each of the structural units must organize special services (allocation of specialized buses, vehicles for transporting patients, etc.) for the life support of structural units of the corresponding functional profile.
