ABSTRACT

Providing medical assistance in emergencies and disaster in advance makes the need to maintain Medical Units functional despite the disturbing phenomenon that confronts the community, but the conflicts occurs when the Medical Unit needs support and needs to be evacuated, especially when required the evacuation of patients in Critical care Unit. In world bibliography there is little on this topic, and usually focuses on the conversion of areas and increased ability to care mass casualties, but not about how to evacuate if necessary, and when a wrong decision can have fatal. That is way the Mexican Social Security Institute are given the task to a working group composed of specialists of the Institute to evaluate and establish a method for performing a protocol in the removal of these patients and considering always safeguard both staff and patient and maintaining the quality standards of care.
