Bayram, et al. [1] 2011 | Hospital bed surge capacity mathematically benchmarked to be 18% of the staffed hospital bed capacity. This is defined as ratio of Emergency beds to emergency time to each critical patient. |
Hirshberg, et al. [7] 2005 | Surge capacity is defined in sigmoid shaped curve based on global level of care. |
Rivera, et al. [10] 2006 | The capacity measured in two type of trauma centers. ED throughput in 6 hours in level I trauma centers (median 39 ED beds) was 117 patients and 75 patients in level II centers (median 25 ED beds). |
De Boer, et al. [11] 1999 | Mathematical method of each hospital could care for a number of critically and moderately injured patients equivalent to 0.5 to 1 patient per 100 hospital beds per hour. |
Halpen, et al. [8] 2003 | So many items were evaluated such the use of personal protective equipment, needs assessment, the mobilization of human and material resources, the organization and performance of triage, the management of explosion-specific injuries, the organization of patient flow through the ED, and the efficient determination of patient disposition. |
Hick, et al. [9] 2004 | From facility level to higher part, surge capacity should be considered and activated in multiple levels .Plans for “surge capacity” must thus be made to accommodate a large number of patients. |
