Disaster and Multi-Casualty Triage Amado Alejandro Báez MD MSc Matthew Sztajnkrycer MD PhD

Learning Objectives Describe the key elements of disaster triage Understand the basic principles of Mass Casualty Triage (START)

Performance Objectives At the end of the course the student should be able to: Apply the principles of disaster triage Understand the concept of reverse triage

Triage [French, from trier, to sort, from Old French.] A method of quickly identifying victims who have immediately life-threatening injuries AND who have the best chance of surviving.

Tagging Complements Triage Rapid Identification of patient Color Coded / Bar Coded system Plastic “bands” can substitute tags

Noji et al, NEJM

START SYSTEM Created in the 1980’s by Hoag Hospital and the Newport Beach CA Fire Dept Allows rapid assessment of victims It should not take more than 15 sec/ Pt Once victim is in treatment area more detailed assessment should be made

START SYSTEM Clasification is based on three items Respiratory Perfusion Mental status evaluation

START First Step Can the Patient Walk? YESNO Green (Minor) Evaluate Ventilation (Step-2)

START Step-2 Ventilation Present? YES NO > 30/Min < 30/min Evaluate Circulation (Step-3) Open Airway Ventilation Present? NO YES Black Red/ Immediate

START Step-3 Circulation Absent Radial Pulse Control Hemorrhage Present Radial Pulse Evaluate Level of Consciousness Red/ Immediate

START Step-4 Can’t Follow Simple Commands Level of Consciousness Can Follow Simple Commands Yellow/ Delayed Red/ Immediate

Contaminated Patients Patients with exposure (potential or real) to contaminants should be tagged as BLUE This category will continue to stay until patient is adequately decontaminated then follow START as usual Some recommend a “double tagging” with blue and the standard START color

Remember RPM R- Respirations- 30 P-Perfusion- Radial Pulse M-Mental- Follows Commands START-Overview

START System and the Evidence

Reverse Triage Used in mass-casualty lightning injuries The dead are treated first High potential for respiratory arrest Potential for resuscitative success

Conclusions Triage is a method of quickly identifying victims who have immediately life- threatening injuries AND who have the best chance of surviving Key elements of the START Triage System are: Respiration, Perfusion and Mentation Reverse Triage is used for mass casualty lightning incidents.
