AB  - A  mass  casualty  incident  (MCI)  is  an  event  that  produces  or  has  the  potential  to  produce  multiple  casualties  requiring  medical  care.  The  goal  of  prehospital  care  is  to  provide  the  optimal  level  of  care  to  save  the  most  lives  and  minimize  the  morbidity  of  this  type  of  event.  For  the  purposes  of  this  chapter,  we  will  further  define  the  term  mass  casualty  as  an  event  that  challenges  the  everyday  response  capacity  of  a  local  response  system  requiring  a  change  in  mode  of  operation.  This  chapter  will  attempt  to  distill  the  essential  elements  of  prehospital  mass  casualty  management  and  planning.
