Summary:During the last few decades, the increasing use of asymmetric and multimodal tactics by terrorists has led anesthesiologists worldwide to analyze and discuss their role in mass casualty scenarios in more depth. Now anesthesiologists must address the new situation of hybrid threats and hybrid warfare. This will have a direct impact on anesthesiology and intensive care, and in the end, the health and well-being of critical patients of all ages. To be able to respond to a hybrid threat efficiently and effectively, it is imperative that anesthesiologists play an early and integral role in mitigation and response planning.
