An intensive care unit (ICU) plays a crucial role in saving critically ill patients during major incidents or disasters. Surge capacity in critical care refers to the ability of an ICU to rapidly expand care to as many as needed. The major components of surge capacity are space, staff, stuff, and structure(“4S”) Each ICU should plan surge capacity with regard to 4S in advance. Despite implementing responses to surge capacity, large numbers of critically ill patients may overwhelm available resources. In addition to surge capacity, critical care triage, including both prioritizing patients for care and rationing scarce resources, will be required. However, no ideal critical triage protocol exists in critical care. The triage decision is sometimes dependent on experience and personality of the triage officer, requiring support by a triage team within legal and ethical frameworks.
