What is triage category?
Triage levels or “categories”, refers to the appropriate level of care for a patient based on their symptoms and medical history. These levels can include dispositions such as “Visit doctor today”, “Go to the emergency room”, “Urgent care visit”, “Primary care”, “Call 911 now”, or most commonly “Homecare”.
What are the two types of treatment that can be given during triage?
Simple triage and rapid treatment (START) is a triage method used by first responders to quickly classify victims during a mass casualty incident (MCI) based on the severity of their injury….Classification
- Deceased/expectant (black)
- Immediate (red)
- Delayed (yellow)
- Walking wounded/minor (green)
What are the 3 categories of triage meaning?
Level 1: Resuscitation – Conditions that are threats to life or limb. Level 2: Emergent – Conditions that are a potential threat to life, limb or function. Level 3: Urgent – Serious conditions that require emergency intervention.
What are the 3 different types of triage codes?

What are the triage categories during a mass casualty incident?
RED: (Immediate) severe injuries but high potential for survival with treatment; taken to collection point first. YELLOW: (Delayed) serious injuries but not immediately life-threatening. GREEN: (Walking wounded) minor injuries.
What types of injuries or medical conditions would fit into each of the four triage color categories?
A triage tag is two-sided, but the actual layout of the sections vary between and within countries and between governmental agencies….Standard sections.
| Black | Expectant | Pain medication only, until death |
|---|---|---|
| Red | Immediate | Life-threatening injuries |
| Yellow | Delayed | Non-life-threatening injuries |
| Green | Minimal | Minor injuries |
What is the expectant category in triage?
The revised triage process must include an “expectant management” category, to identify patients for whom further resuscitation is delayed, as they have a poor chance of survival and require significant resources.
What are the 3 tiers of triage for multiple injuries?
All in all, organize your priority in terms of these three tires of injuries, being sure to deal with tier 1 injuries before tier 2 injuries, and tier 2 before tier 3. Highest priority. Stabilize as best you can and arrange immediate evacuation should the casualty present the following;
How is triage used in a mass casualty situation?
In mass casualty situations, triage is used to decide who is most urgently in need of transportation to a hospital for care (generally, those who have a chance of survival but who would die without immediate treatment) and whose injuries are less severe and must wait for medical care.
When do you need to triage multiple victims?
Always provide medical care to casualties with these tiers in mind. Whether you are dealing with one victim with multiple injuries or multiple victims with individual injuries, or, of course, multiple victims with multiple injuries – regardless, the process should not change. Triage is important in order to ultimately help save each victim’s life.
