The majority of the 14 victims of the suspected attack on the demonstration in Munich were treated at the LMU Hospital at both sites - the City Center Campus and the Grosshadern Campus. Some were seriously injured, four had to be operated on immediately. Doctors and nursing staff worked together quickly and professionally to provide first aid in the hospital's emergency departments, shock room and operating theaters.

"Both in Großhadern and in the city center, teams of 25 staff were deployed immediately after the alarm was raised," confirms Prof. Wolfgang Böcker, Director of Trauma Surgery at LMU Hospital. "In the city center, we operated up to three shock rooms in parallel."

Emergency care at the LMU Klinikum is an extremely important area for Prof. Markus M. Lerch, Medical Director of the LMU Klinikum. "We treated many of the people injured in the attack in our clinics. In a situation like this, emergency physicians, trauma surgeons, pediatric surgeons, neurosurgeons, anesthesiologists, radiologists, nurses and other experts work together quickly and competently."

The event shows how important regular training is for a mass casualty incident. "With the Institute for Emergency Medicine and Medical Management, we have a facility at the LMU Hospital that creates the appropriate structures for precisely such situations and also carries out exercises," says Prof. Lerch.
