Background The Emergency Department (ED) at Hillerød Hospital uses a five-level triage system inspired by the Swedish ADAptiv Process Triage (ADAPT). The triage categories are red, orange, yellow, green and blue. Patients classified as red need immediate treatment whereas blue patients are non-urgent and not admitted to hospital. The patient is assigned a triage category based on both vital sig...
BACKGROUND In-hospital triage is the key factor for successful management of an overwhelming number of patients in lack of treatment capacity. The main goal of in-hospital triage is to identify casualties with life-threatening injuries and to allocate immediate medical aid. For the first time, we evaluate the quality of in-hospital triage in the German capital Berlin. METHODS In this prospect...
BACKGROUND A previous study has shown no measurable improvement in triage accuracy among physicians attending the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) course and suggests a curriculum revision regarding triage. Other studies have indicated that cooperative learning helps students acquire knowledge. OBJECTIVE The present study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of trauma cards in triage...
BACKGROUND Pre-hospital trauma triage criteria are used to expedite the transport of severely injured patients to major trauma services. The current Victorian adult pre-hospital trauma triage criteria consist of physiological, anatomical and mechanistic elements. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of the current triage criteria and, if necessary propose refined criteria t...
BACKGROUND Triage in the emergency department (ED) is necessary to prioritise management according to the severity of a patient's condition.The South African Triage Scale (SATS) is a hospital-based triage tool that has been adopted by numerous EDs countrywide.Many factors can influence the outcome of a patient's triage result, and evaluation of performance is therefore pivotal. OBJECTIVES To ...
Triage, the first step in the assessment of emergency department patients, occurs in a highly dynamic environment that functions under constraints of time, physical space, and patient needs that may exceed available resources. Through triage, patients are placed into one of a limited number of categories using a subset of diagnostic information. To facilitate this task and standardize the triag...
INTRODUCTION The incidence of emergency conditions is increasing worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, triage and emergency care training has not been prioritized in LMICs. We aimed to assess the reliability and validity of the South African Triage Scale (SATS) when used by providers not specifically trained in SATS, as well as to compare triage capabilit...
BACKGROUND When emergency medical services (EMS) providers respond to the scene of an injury, they must decide where to transport the injured patients for further evaluation and treatment. This is done through a process known as "field triage", whereby a patient's injuries are matched to the most appropriate hospital. In 2005-2006 the National Expert Panel on Field Triage, convened by the Cente...
BACKGROUND Triage in paediatric emergency care is an important tool to prioritize seriously ill children. Triage can also be used to identify patients who do not need urgent care and who can safely wait. The aim of this review was to provide an overview of the literature on reliability and validity of current triage systems in paediatric emergency care METHODS We performed a search in Pubmed ...
Background: To deal with emergency department crowding and long waits before patient care, many institutions have placed a doctor in the triage area to initiate treatment and testing. Objective: To determine the effect of a doctor in triage on patient satisfaction scores. Methods: This is an observational study comparing the patient satisfaction scores from days when a physician was in triage t...
