TRIAGESORTING OF THE VICTIMS ACCORDING TO THEIR INJURIES AND THE AVAILABLE RESOURCES TO TREAT THEM
. A=airway & c.s. protection . B=breathing . C=circulation & bleeding control . D=disability . E=exposure
AIM Your aim at any multiple casualty Should be to produce the largest Number of survivors
TRIAGE WHEN? CASUALTIES EXCEED THE NUMBER OF SKILLED RESCUERS
TRIAGE . French word meaning sorting . The golden hour: need a utilitarian approach to maximize resource use . A system of sorting patients according to need when resources are insufficient for all to be treated . A dynamic process.
TRIAG . This step is required medical care And transportation becomes available . Anatomical v/s physiological triage . Simple vs. advanced triage . In advanced triage. medical personnel may decide that some seriously injured people should not receive advanced care because they are unlikely to survive.
S.T.A.R.T. {simple triage and rapid treatment} . Has been {2003}taught to California emergency workers for use in earthquakes .4categories: _minor: can delay up to three hours _delayed urgent care/can delay up to one hour _immediate care/life-threatening _deceased no care required
IMMEDIATE The patient will die if not treated immediately . e.g.: sever chest injury with air way obstruction .
DELAYED URGENT The patient needs management but can wait for a time e.g.: fracture or a wound
MINOR Can be managed by the rescues only
EXPECTED When you cannot help him in the scene or there is no hope from referring him at once especially in large numbers of injuries, and transport depends on priorities
TRIAGE . France:urgence medico-psychologique . Simplified S.T.A.R.T. _those lying on the ground silently should be prepared immediate transportation _Those injured lying on the ground but screaming are injured whose transportation can be delayed _the walking wounded need help less urgently
ADVANCED TRIAGE .on scene where the causalities are found: better be simple triage .pre-hospital: in the casualty clearing Station;RTS:for medical personnel: used in western Europe Need GCS and RR
