“…The patient assistance rate during the tournament was 1,824. Slightly lower rates were found by Morimura et al 5 , but it was within the range found in previous studies 4 , 5 . De Lorenzo et al 6 reported that the rate of patient assistance in mass events varies from 0,14 to 19 patients per 1000 spectators.…”

“…Other studies, however, have not reported a relationship between the number of medical assistances and total number of spectators. 4 , 10 Other factors may be important in increasing the number of medical assistance to spectators at major sporting events such as: consumption of alcohol, public education and high temperatures/weather during the matches. However, Burton et al 11 found that alcohol was a contributing factor in only 5% of medical assistances in rugby matches and horse races in the United Kingdom.…”

Objective:Several studies have already described the main injuries to soccer players during FIFA World Cup events; however, little is known about the main reasons spectators require medical assistance during these matches. The aim of this study is to assess the number of cases and main reasons spectators required medical assistance during the 2014 World Cup matches in Brazil. Methods:Data were collected from spectators who received medical assistance on all game days, and factors related to the assistance provided were analyzed. Results:Medical assistance was given to spectators in a total of 6,222 cases during the 64 games played in Brazil, an average of 97.2 times per game. The total number of spectators removed from the stadiums by ambulance was 167, a mean of 2.6 removals per game. The main reasons spectators required medical assistance during the World Cup games were headache, gastrointestinal problems, and trauma. Conclusions:Most spectators required medical assistance during the World Cup games for headache, gastrointestinal problems, and trauma; this information is fundamental to develop new prevention strategies and plan medical assistance for large-scale events. Level of Evidence IV; Case series.

“…Mass gathering events, such as sporting and political events, music concert events, visits by dignitaries, and others, have been defined as the presence of > 1000 people gathered at a specific location for a defined period of time [ 1 ]. Prior research has identified several attributes of mass gatherings that result in morbidity and mortality, including weather and environmental factors [ 2 – 6 ], alcohol and drug use [ 5 – 7 ], crowd attendance and density [ 8 – 10 ], and event type [ 6 , 9 , 10 ].…”

BackgroundFew studies describe medical complaints and substance use patterns related to attending music concerts. As such, the objective of this study is to describe patient demographics, substance use and intoxication patterns, and medical interventions provided to adolescents and young adults assessed in an emergency department (ED) for complaints directly related to concert attendance.MethodsA retrospective chart review of patients 13–30 years old who were transported to the ED directly from music concerts between January 2011 and December 2015 was conducted. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used to analyze patient demographic, intervention, and substance use data.ResultsThere were 115 concerts identified, of which 48 (42%) were linked to 142 relevant ED visits; the total number of attendees at each concert is unknown. The mean age of the 142 described patients was 19.5 years (SD 3.3) with 72% < 21 and 33% < 18; 71% of patients were female and 96% of visits were substance-use related. Mean blood alcohol level was 242 mg/dL (range 104–412, SD 70). Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores ranged from 3 to 15, with a mean of 14. Two patients required intubation and 61% of patients received interventions, including medications (47%), intravenous fluids (46%), specialty consultation (20%), restraints (14%), imaging (6%), and laceration repair (3%). Attendance at pop and electronic dance music concerts was associated with the widest ranges of GCS scores (8–15 and 6–14 respectively), mass casualty incident declarations, and among the highest mean blood alcohol levels (246 and 244 mg/dL, respectively).ConclusionsSubstance use is the predominant reason for music concert related ED visits and patients may have serious levels of intoxication, receiving multiple medical interventions. These data demonstrate the need for additional large-scale studies to confirm trends and increase awareness of this important public health problem.

“…Although there are multiple definitions of mass gatherings, the general estimated size ranges from 100 to 25000 people collected in one location (Locoh-Donou et al, 2013). According to Jaslow, Yancy, and Milsten (2000), however, a mass gathering involves at least 1000 persons at a specific location at the same time. Other definitions are based on the medical perspective: a mass gathering is one large crowd of people which can lead to a delay in emergency response or a difficulty to access any kind of necessary treatment (Paul Arbon, 2004;P.…”

Hashim bin Salleeh, present Dean of PSCEMS who have put their trust in me become a member of the college. Special thanks go to Dr. Osama Samarkandi, Chairman of Basic Sciences Development at PSCEMS for supporting me and helping me for dissemination of my online survey. vii ABSTRACT AN ASSESSMENT OF THE DISASTER PREPAREDNESS KNOWLEDGE OF EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES PROVIDERS IN HAJJ OF 2016 Ahmed Alotaibi 03/22/2018 Objectives: 1) Assess knowledge regarding disaster preparedness for mass gathering among SRC-EMS providers during the Hajj 2016 2) Explore the relationship between the demographic variables and knowledge about disaster preparedness among SRC-EMS providers during the Hajj 2016 3) Explore the sources of knowledge for SRC-EMS providers about disaster preparedness. Method: The data collection for this study was a cross-sectional survey using an online Qualtrics survey. It was convenience sample of 1650 respondents. For the analyses descriptive statistics was used, one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons tests, multiple regression analyses, and Pearson's product coefficients. Results: The main findings in this study was providers in the age of 35-39 years and master's degree had more general knowledge of disaster preparedness. Paramedics had more general knowledge of disaster preparedness and physicians had more knowledge of the Hajj. The military sector had more knowledge of disaster preparedness than other viii sectors. The trainings, workshops and drills should be held four times per year, the duration should be 6-12 months, trainings no more than 9 hours and workshops and drills more than 20 hours for retaining high knowledge of disasters. Thus, the characteristics of multiple regression analysis model for general knowledge of disaster preparedness are the level of EMS provider, highest level of education, and number of workshops ever attended and characteristics of knowledge of the Hajj model are the number of drills attended and level of EMS providers. Most sources of general knowledge of disaster preparedness are continuing education, university courses the media and the most sources of knowledge of the Hajj are real disasters, continuing education, university courses, and the media. Conclusion: This study indicates a relationship between the demographic variables with general knowledge of disaster preparedness and knowledge of the Hajj 2016. It provides valuable insights into understanding predictive factors. Also, it defines the sources of knowledge about disaster preparedness for mass gathering among SRC-EMS providers. This study offers recommendations to the Saudi government for improving the knowledge of disaster preparedness for SRC-EMS providers such as improving training and education and changing the scope of practice for Saudi EMS system.
