1、Designation: F1653 95 (Reapproved 2012)Standard Guide forScope of Performance of Triage in a PrehospitalEnvironment1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1653; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year

2、 of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONTriage is a word taken from the French verb trier, that means “to sort”. During the time of theNapoleonic wars, a

3、technique for assigning priorities to the treatment of battlefield casualties wasestablished in order to maximize the use of limited resources. The basic principle of triage is to do thegreatest good for the greatest number of casualties. Care is provided first to those with the most seriousemergenc

4、ies and to those who are most salvageable. This technique is identified as essential for gooddisaster medical care.1. Scope1.1 This guide covers minimum requirements for the scopeof performance for individuals who perform triage at anemergency medical incident involving multiple casualties in apre-h

5、ospital environment.1.2 This guide acknowledges objectives based on an indi-viduals required knowledge of signs and symptoms, patientassessment and basic life support.1.3 Operating within the framework of this guide mayexpose personnel to hazardous materials, procedures, andequipment.

17、ure that adequate triage iscarried out in a multiple casualty incident.4.2 The purpose of this guide is to establish a methodologyfor performing triage.4.3 Individuals responsible for performing triage must beproficient in triage methods and related life-saving techniques.4.4 A basic concept of tria

18、ge is to do the greatest good forthe greatest number of casualties.4.5 The assessment process must be focused so as toidentify those most at risk of early death who are likely to besalvaged by rapid medical intervention.4.6 Triage allows the most efficient use of available re-sources.4.7 This guide

19、acknowledges many types of individualswith varying levels of emergency medical training. It alsoestablishes a minimum scope of performance and encouragesthe addition of optional knowledge, skills and attitudinalobjectives.4.8 A vital role in the development of and operationalapplication of triage is

20、 that of medical control. This guideshould be used by medical directors in the determination ofoperational and medical protocols for use during MCIs.4.9 This guide is intended to assist those who are respon-sible for defining the scope of performance of individuals whoperform triage.4.10 For the pur

21、pose of this guide the word “injured”includes both sick or injured patients, or both.5. Objectives5.1 Required ObjectivesThese objectives are in an ordersuggesting a particular performance sequence although somemay be performed concurrently. Some incidents may notrequire performance of all objective

22、s. Individuals who performtriage shall be able to:5.1.1 Identify health and safety hazards and initiate appro-priate actions.5.1.2 Recognize an incident that may require triage.5.1.3 Determine the need for and request additional re-sources.5.1.4 Initiate incident command Guide F1288.5.1.5 Identify c

23、onditions which may dictate a decision totreat patients at the scene or transfer them to a designatedtreatment area.5.1.6 Initiate Primary Triage.5.1.6.1 Identify victims who appear to be uninjured orminimally injured and able to help themselves, and direct themto a designated area of safety.5.1.6.2

24、 Perform a rapid assessment of the remaining vic-tims. Check respiratory status, circulatory status and level ofconsciousness.5.1.6.3 Immediate medical interventions should be limitedto opening the airway and controlling gross hemorrhage. Theseinterventions should not stop the process of triage.5.1.

25、6.4 Assign a triage priority to each victim, including theuninjured, and use a visual marker for individual identification.Patients are placed into the following categories in accordancewith the assessment outcome and in accordance with the localstandard of medical care:(a) First Priority/Immediate

26、(RED)Those patients withserious injuries that are life threatening but have a highprobability of survival.(b) Second Priority/Delayed (YELLOW)Those patientswho are seriously injured and whose lives are not immediatelythreatened. The triage category of these patients may change tofirst priority based

27、 on medical resources at any time during anincident.(c) Third Priority/Minor (GREEN)Those patients whoare injured but do not require immediate medical attention andthose apparently not physically injured.(d) Fourth Priority/Dead/Mortally Wounded (BLACK)Those patients who are obviously dead as determ

28、ined bymedical protocol or those patients with severe injuries and alow probability of survival, despite immediate care. As this isa difficult field decision, actual practice may be to providetreatment and transportation.5.1.6.5 Arrange for transfer of patients based on highestpriority first, to a l

29、ocation where they can receive the appro-priate level of care.5.1.7 Initiate Ongoing Triage.5.1.8 Document triage priority, assessment, treatment ren-dered and patient identification.5.1.9 Continue transferring patients by highest priority asresources become available.5.1.10 Triage is a dynamic proc

30、ess. It will be repeated andperformed as necessary during an event and in other phases ofthe continuum of care.5.2 Optional Objectives:5.2.1 Demonstrate a knowledge of the principles of theIncident Command System (ICS).5.2.2 Describe critical incident stress, its impact on rescuersand the availabili
