Kings Mountain Hospital
Prepares For Emergencies
Imagine the situation. A tractor trailer driving on the
interstate transporting hazardous chemicals swerves to
avoid merging traffic and slams into a bus loaded with
tourists on the way to the mountains. The resulting
victims must be treated quickly and competently at a
hospital which can handle such and emergency.
‘The incident depicted above did not really happen.
Rather, it was used as a drill on November 30 to insure
the readiness of Kings Mountain Hospital personnel in
the event that such an emergency occurs.
Each year without prior notice to hospital personnel,
Kings Mountain Hospital enacts a scenario like the
one described above, known as the Mass Casualty
Disaster drill. Using hospital personnel as imaginary
victims, the disaster drill team is instructed to treat
cach victim as they would in a real life situation.
In the event of a mass casualty disaster, the respon-
sible individual at the scene--police, rescue squad, fire-
man--alerts Kings Mountain Hospital nursing supervi-

the disaster over the public address system.
In accordance with the mass casualty plan, the nurs-
ing supervisor decides which departments in the hospi-
tal are needed. Each staff member has an assigned task
to perform when a disaster occurs, which is outlined in
the mass casualty plan. Every department has a copy
of the plan and each employee is instructed to read it.
Through the combined efforts of all hospital personnel
and the cooperation of the medical staff, a disaster can

Mountain Hospital, the drills are held to ensure that ;
the hospital is prepared to meet any needs in the event
that a disaster were to happen.
Following the drill, the hospitals safety committee
critiques the drill to determine how it went in an effort
to improve response time and coordination of activi-

Foreign Objects In Nose
May Cause Injury To Child
Nose injuries often occur when a
child inserts or inhales a foreign
object into a nostril. Such injuries
are most common among children
under the age of five, who tend to
insert small objects into body
openings out of curiosity. Objects
commonly inserted into nostrils in-
clude crayon pieces, small toys,
pieces of large toys (especially
plastic ones), erasers, paper wads,
dried beans, pebbles and food.
If allowed to remain in the nasal
passage, a foreign object may re-
sult in breathing difficulty or an in-
fection caused by blocking of the
nasal passage, which provides a
moist environment for bacteria to
breed. Also, a child may choke if
the object travels from the nasal

passage to the back of the throat.
Medical attention should be
sought immediately if a child has a
foreign object in his or her nose.
Signs and symptoms may include
nasal discomfort, sneezing and a
discharge that is characteristically
foul-smelling and may contain pus
or blood.
Do not try to remove an object
from a child's nose unless it is pro-
truding from a nostril; attempting
to remove the object is likely to
force it farther into the nasal pas-
sage and it may obstruct breathing.
Once an object has been removed,
any infection usually clears up
rapidly. Sometimes antibiotic med-
ication is prescribed by a physi-
cian.
If you have any questions con-
cerning nasal obstruction contact
your physician or the emergency
department at Kings Mountain
Hospital.
