Boston Hospitals Lean On 9/11 Lessons In Swift Response by Drew Armstrong and Michelle Fay Cortez. April 17, 2013.
Hospital officials credited having the protocols, policies, and work flows in place to deal effectively with the Marathon bombing. Among the interesting observations: A liver damaged in a blast may look fine on the outside but be bleeding profusely inside. Burns in the mouth may be slow to manifest. However when they do, tissue swelling could cut off breathing. In an event such as Boston, all shrapnel removed is criminal evidence and must be preserved.
