Triage (/ˈtriːɑːʒ/ or /triːˈɑːʒ/) is the process of determining the priority of patients' treatments based on the severity of their condition. This rations patient treatment efficiently when resources are insufficient for all to be treated immediately. The term comes from the French verb trier, meaning to separate, sift or select. Triage may result in determining the order and priority of emergency treatment, the order and priority of emergency transport, or the transport destination for the patient.
Triage may also be used for patients arriving at the emergency department, or telephoning medical advice systems, among others. This article deals with the concept of triage as it occurs in medical emergencies, including the prehospital setting, disasters, and emergency room treatment.
The term triage may have originated during the Napoleonic Wars from the work of Dominique Jean Larrey. The term was used further during World War I by French doctors treating the battlefield wounded at the aid stations behind the front. Those responsible for the removal of the wounded from a battlefield or their care afterwards would divide the victims into three categories:
Introduction to the basics of START Triage. START Triage is a system designed for emergency medical response in disasters where there are multiple victims. START stands for Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment. In this video Beth Beam, RN, MSN covers the key concepts behind the process and what you should and, perhaps more importantly, should NOT be doing during the triage process. At the end join students of South East Community College as they practice the process during a simulated mass casualty event. ++ About UNMC's HEROES Project ++ HEROES - Healthcare and Emergency Responder Organization Education through Simulation - provides Emergency Preparedness education and training for healthcare providers and students across the state of Nebraska. We have an interdisciplinary approach to...
Medical triage is the key to doing the most good for the most people whenever there are more victims than rescuers, resources are limited, and time is critical. This training video provides an overview of the medical triage process and portrays the steps that CERT members need to follow to provide victims the most effective lifesaving support available until professional responders arrive on scene. This video will support the materials presented in the CERT Basic Training course Unit 3: Disaster Medical Operations Part 1. CERT trainers will be able to use the material presented in the video to start a dialogue about the potential challenges CERT members may face.

Oh to be an Emergency Room Triage Nurse! This patient exhibits all of my favorite things that we deal with during triage such as vague symptoms, multiple complaints, +ETOH, asking for pain medication by name, allergies to everything EXCEPT said pain medication, misuse of pain scale, and more. Hope all my fellow nurses get a laugh out of this :)
This is a review of the color triage system. This is meant to be a memorable way to remember the different priorities and treatments. The lyrics are written to Billy Joel's 'Uptown Girl'. If you wish to leave comments, please use constructive criticism and be respectful. A lot of hours went into making this film. It is not to make fun of an MCI situation, but to review the color system in a unique way. *Disclaimer* According to the most recent FEMA's NIMS, the ICS does not include an "EMS Command". The statement in the song only represents that a general command structure needs to be created in order for better organization. We apologize for any confusion. Some Examples: Red Tag: Loss of consciousness Severe hemorrhage (or in shock) Severe respiratory distress Burns affec...
A triage system for emergencies is a preliminary clinic assessment process to classify patients according to their severe condition. Therefore, patients with severe medical condition will be treated first while the rest will be constantly monitored and reassessed until the arrival of the medical team.
Take my longings and believe them
Light a candle if you know
I breath love, don't wanna be there
These are things I got to know
The magic seems so far
Don't know who they are
Let me go Minor Heaven
Cause my blood to run
Leave this place, unforgiven
Heal me with your sun
How can I come undone?
Let me know Minor Heaven
Light a way for me to walk on
From the ashes to the sky
Burn the thorns so I can hold on
Trust in me I know I'm right
You know it's gone too far
Leave them where they are
Let me go Minor Heaven
Cause my blood to run
Leave this place, unforgiven
Heal me with your sun
How can I come undone?
Let me know Minor Heaven
Even if nothing I'll become
Something I've been for all too long
Let me go Minor Heaven
Let me go Minor Heaven
Cause my blood to run
Leave this place, unforgiven
Heal me with your sun
How can I come undone?
