What is the first action you should take upon arriving at a multiple vehicle crash scene with at least two ejected patients?

In a multiple vehicle crash scene where there are at least two ejected patients, the most prudent first action is to request at least one more ambulance. This is crucial because multiple ejected patients typically indicate a serious scenario with potentially numerous injuries requiring urgent medical attention. By ensuring that additional resources are on the way, you can help facilitate swift transport of all patients as needed, particularly those who may have life-threatening conditions.

Calling for extra ambulances helps to establish a greater support network for managing the scene effectively. It allows you to focus on assessment and treatment without being concerned about transport logistics later on. Having more ambulances readily available can significantly improve patient outcomes, especially in situations where time is of the essence, and triage decisions need to be made quickly. Your priority should be ensuring that there are adequate resources to handle the situation effectively.
