Las Vegas-based University Medical Center, a level 1 trauma center, saw an influx of wounded patients after gunman Stephen Paddock, a 64-year-old Nevada resident, opened fire at a country concert Oct. 1, according to The New York Times.
Here are seven things to know:
1. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department identified Mr. Paddock as the sole shooter in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, CNN reports. Mr. Paddock opened fire into a crowd of nearly 22,000 people, killing 59 people and injuring an additional 527.
2. The shooting occurred near the Las Vegas strip's Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. Mr. Paddock shot at the crowd from his Mandalay Bay hotel room. A SWAT team found Mr. Paddock dead in his hotel room from a self-inflicted gunshot.
3. The only level 1 trauma center in the state, University Medical Center cared for numerous patients following the shooting. The center has 11 trauma bays, a trauma intensive care unit and three operating rooms. However, space was limited following the shooting, with 90 patients entering the center's doors within the first few hours. That number jumped to 180 by midday Oct. 2.
4. To accommodate the incoming patients, University Medical set up additional places to care for patients. The trauma center opened its ASC as well as a recovery area and a preoperative area.
5. University Medical was fighting to find ample supplies to care for patients. The trauma center sought IV tubing, fluids, chest rubes, urinals and blankets, as well as chest tubes from other departments within the center.
6. Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center and Dignity Health-St. Rose Dominican, both based in Las Vegas, also cared for the injured, according to NYT.
7. CNN reports Mr. Paddock's motive is unclear at this point in time.
