Following this to get some discussion going ....

In a disaster situation [or even just a trauma surge in your ED] what
are the minimum laboratory requirements / blood tests? Just a Hb / Hct
and cross match? What else is REALLY necessary, and why? Lactate? And if
you don't need all the other tests in a surge situation, then why do you
need them in "everyday" trauma??

Cheers, Ian
