What is a Public Health Emergency?

Are you Prepared to help?

Educational Objectives  Demonstrate START  Practice in Virtual Disaster Scenario  Review Implicatins of Different types of Disasters

1)COORDINATION Is Key 2) “KNOW YOUR LANE”: START, NIMS, fire,police etc. 3) Need More Event Team Preparedness Lessons Learned In The Field Post 911

Triage is a dynamic process and is usually done more than once. Generally takes 15 Sec/pt.

Common Elements Pre Disaster Planning Event Post Event

What is S.T.A.R.T.?

What & When? Simple triage and rapid treatment is a triage method used by first responders. It quickly classify victims during a mass casualty incident. It is based on the severity of their injury.

 Word that comes from an Old French word, meaning sorting, sifting, from trier to sort.  National / Internationally used.  Used with an MCI.  MCI is 5 or more victims.

S.T.A.R.T. Simple Triage And Rapid Transport

Example: Bus Accident

Example: 911 Terrorist

Katrina (RN on Bridge)

TRIAGE Categories

RED=Stop/Urgent (Ambulance Light) Yellow= Caution/Can Wait Green= Go/Walk Black box/Black/dead

RACE AGAINST TIME…when seconds count.

RPM…

32 Q

R P M = RED Greater than 30 Respirations Greater 2 sec. –Cap refill NO Radial Pulse Confused Disoriented Mental

Minor/Walking Green Deceased. (Check/position head)No Breathing Black All others Yellow

Nurses Always Have With Them…  Head  Heart  Hands

Remember RPM…

HAZ MAT?  DECON TEAM Directs:  Initiate START Triage  Primary Deacon  Strip & Bag Evidence  Tag Patients  Initiate Secondary Deacon  Secondary Triage  Move to Treatment

TABLE TOP SIM LAB  Hands On  Triage Practice (ADULT)  Note there are different triage techniques; START is most commonly used.

Remember RPM Traffic Light 32 Q

PRACTICE: Multiple Casualty 7:45 am on a Saturday in August the weather is clear, temperature is 70 degrees. You go with a friend for a relaxing weekend breakfast at a small local airport. A commuter plane with 40 passengers onboard begins speeding down the runway. As the plane lifts off the landing gear retracts, suddenly a catastrophic equipment failure causes the aircraft to crash in the field just west of the airport. Upon impact the plane is torn apart, the debris field is 100 yards long.

WHAT DO YOU DO?

Patient walks over to you and has an obvious broken arm Respirations are 22 Cap Refill 2 sec. (Radial 88) He is awake, alert, and crying What Triage Category? GREEN

Patient states he can’t move or feel his legs. Respirations are 26 Cap refill 2 He is awake and oriented What Triage Category? YELLOW

Patient is soaked with blood no obvious killer bleed Respirations are 38 Pulse is weak, no radial He is awake What Triage Category? RED

Patient is face down in the field. Not Breathing Weak Carotid Pulse She is unresponsive What do you do first? What Category? BLACK

Patient has an open head wound, bleeding controlled Respirations are 16 Pulse is intact (88) He is unconscious What Triage Category? RED

Triage Tag Construction Synthetic paper Water resistant:100 % resistant to all commonly used decontamination solutions May be worn while patient is being decontaminated

Rapid Triage (START)

Front Back  This portion of the tag provides a Personal Property Receipt for valuables belonging to victims that may be contaminated.  Place the valuables and the tag into a bag and seal it.

Hints When Using Triage Tags Before tearing along perforation area of triage tag, fold area that will be affected. If triage tag is likely get wet, documentation prior to getting wet. Name/identification placed on the back of Personnel & Property/Evidence Tag

WMD? There is no widely recognized civilian MCI triage tool used in the US for any of the NRBC (radiologic & biologic )agents.

Agent Symbol Identification

Part of the Solution…keeping communities safe

What is MRC?
