AB Maximizing  the  utilization  of  resources  means  that  some  deaths  will  be  unavoidable,  especially  in  resource-poor  situations.  When  resources  are  limited,  you  may  have  to  forego  trying  to  save  patients  whose  deaths  are  imminent  or  unavoidable.  Considerable  improvisation  may  be  required  to  fashion  body  bags,  equip  holding  areas,  set  up  a  body-identification  system,  and  even  embalm  a  body  or  perform  an  autopsy.
