Introduction:

The European Union Horizon 2020 research and innovation funding program awarded the NIGHTINGALE grant to develop a toolkit to support first responders engaged in prehospital (PH) mass casualty incident (MCI) response. To reach the projects’ objectives, the NIGHTINGALE consortium adapted the Translational Science (TS) process. The aim of this study is to perform the first TS (T1) phase PRISMA scoping review to extract data that will be used to guide the creation of the initial evidence-based second TS phase (T2) modified Delphi statements for a subsequent study.

Method:

The consortium was divided into three work groups (WGs) MCI triage, Prehospital Life Support and Damage Control (PHLSDC) and Prehospital Processes (PHP). Each WG conducted simultaneous literature searches following the PRISMA extension for scoping review with a common research strategy sharing MCI related search terms and then terms specific for each WG. Final included articles went through data extraction based on identified themes and sub-themes from PH MCI response literature to be used to create the future statements.

Results:

The initial search yielded 925 total references to be considered for a title and abstract review (PH Triage 311, PHLSDC 329, PHP 285), then 483 articles for a full reference review (MCI Triage 111, PHLSDC 216, PHP 156) and 155 articles for the database extraction process (MCI Triage 27, PHLSDC 38, PHP 90).

Conclusion:

The progression of the study of prehospital MCI response enabled NIGHTINGALE partners to methodically obtain information that will contribute to each WG’s creation of initial T2 modified Delphi statements.
