摘要
在國內由於生活緊張及人。增加，相對地意外和災難事件之養生也增加，災難醫學因而益顯重要。災難醫學乃是軍陣與急診醫學之組合，其需要軍陣醫學之組識化及急診醫學的快速有效之診治能力。 災難醫學之基礎乃是醫療之容量和傷患達成平衛之關係，而以有效率且完善的措施，讓災民受損減至最小的醫學。災難可依其種類，特性及所產生之傷害機轉來決定，其災害反應可分為三期(1)活動期；(2)施行期；(3)恢復期，來處理病患。而醫療照護方面，首重到達醫院前之處理，其次為醫院內急診部門對患者之處理。 對災難醫學之展望為：(l)建立教學課程及處理模式：(2)成立研發中心；(3)成立緊急醫療網；(4)與非醫療單位之聯擊與合作。

Accidents and injuries have increased in recent years as a consequence of the rapid social and economic developments and increased of population in Taiwan. As a result disaster medicine has become more important. Disaster medicine includes military and emergency medicine. It needs the organizational ability of military medicine and the rapid effective diagnosis and treatment capabilities of emergency medicine. The basis of disaster medicine is the relationship between the capacity of the medical care and the needs of the victims being balanced, and to keep damage to a minimum. The determination of the disaster needs depends on the type, character and mechanism of injury. There are three phases to a disaster response: (1)Activation, (2) Implementation, (3)Recovery. The medical care of disasters can be divided into two areas-prehospital and emergency care. The future development of disaster medicine requires: (1) establish a teaching course & management model, (2) organize a research and development center, (3) develop emergency medical services, and (4) contact and cooperate with the non-medical units.
