2024年11月20日 · Introduction This chapter introduces the concept and process of triage.Triage involves the sorting of patients in emergency care settings according to their level of acuity; it aims to ensure that all patients receive access to care in an organised, equitable and timely manner based on the urgency of their clinical need/s.

There are evidence that in mixed emergency departments, adults tend to ‘be seen earlier than equally ill children resulting in unacceptable waiting times for very ill children, therefore again creating a need for specific pediatric triage scales.(Cain P, Waldrop RD, Jones J; improved pediatric patient flow in a general emergency department by ...

MTS is a triage system used by both Ambulance Services and ED's in the UK and around Europe (Health Research Authority, 2020). Early Warning Scores were designed to detect deterioration of the patient, whilst POPS has demonstrated an ability to aid detection of paediatric patients requiring hospitalisation and support discharge decision's for ...

The ED is a complex system of procedures and vital information links. The process involves multiple steps from the beginning of when the patient is triaged to possible admission to a hospital bed. The process consists of four steps for the patient: triage, testing and evaluation, handoffs and admission (Eisenberg et al., 2005).

The triage nurse categorizes the patient as priority three and puts him into waiting list due to non-availability of bed. A senior nurse with an experience of 9 years, however, reassesses the child immediately and upgrades his equity level to immediate and sends him for instant resuscitation.

In the world of physic the EMT, otherwise known as an (emergency medical technician), is the front line at the scene of an emergency crisis. The EMT-Basic help patients by giving first aid and vital life support at the scene, in the ambulance and during transport to the clinic. The EMT-B is the variance between life and death for many patients.

In England there are several trauma tools used regionally which are based on the American College of Surgeons (ACS) 2006 ‘Guidelines for Field Triage of Injured Patients’. This system works well in NWAS showing sensitivity to be 0.63-0.84 and specificity at 0.75-0.97 (15).

Thus, it provides nurses an opportunity to identify patient’s concerns and make appropriate diagnosis. As far as triage nursing is concerned, initially it was questionable but once implemented, it became successful than the former. This example clearly illustrates that nurses with their capabilities can satisfy patients.
