N2  - Receiving a great number of firearms casualties in a trauma center requires a preexisting plan. This plan must define the different steps, starting from patients' arrival preparation to operating room occupation. It must also define how the involved physicians and nurses interact with each other. The delay between the alert and the first patients' arrival is dedicated to staff recruitment among those who are on duty, and staff recall of those who are at home or on call. The two main pieces of the puzzle that can prevent trauma center saturation are a one-way patient influx and a sufficient amount of staff physicians and nurses leaded by a medical director. We present the organization of a level-1 trauma center that received 53 casualties from the Paris attacks on November the 13th 2015, including 28 absolute emergencies. We subsequently provide feedback including the keys of success and stumbling blocks. <p />  <p>Language: fr</p>
