Triage is the process of prioritizing patients according to the urgency of their need for care. It aims to ensure patients are treated in order of clinical urgency and receive timely care. There are three main types of triage - primary triage in the field, secondary triage in the emergency department, and tertiary triage by specialists. The START and SAVE methods are used for disaster triage in the field to categorize patients into immediate, delayed, or minimal care/expectant groups. In the ED, patients are assigned colors based on their condition - red for most urgent, yellow intermediate, green less urgent, and black for deceased. Documentation, equipment, and designated triage teams are needed to properly conduct triage

This document discusses disaster and field triage. It defines disasters as complex incidents resulting in loss of life, property damage, or disruption to daily life. Several types of disasters are described, including natural disasters, industrial accidents, and transportation accidents. The document outlines Malaysia's disaster management structure and the agencies involved in response. Two triage systems are explained - START and JumpSTART. START triages patients into immediate, delayed, minor, and deceased categories based on breathing, perfusion, and mental status. JumpSTART is modified for pediatric patients and includes a brief ventilation trial for non-breathing children with a pulse.
Ehs3. aim, principles and rules of first aidRajive Kohli
The document outlines the key principles and procedures of first aid. It discusses that first aid involves immediately assisting or treating someone before medical help arrives using available resources to preserve life, prevent worsening of conditions, and promote recovery. The key aims of first aid are to preserve life, prevent injuries from worsening, and promote recovery. It also describes the DRABC action plan that first aiders should follow to assess dangers, check response, open airways, check breathing, and check circulation of a casualty. Protecting oneself from infection as a first aider is also emphasized.
This document provides information on triage and EMTALA regulations. It discusses the following key points:
1. EMTALA requires hospitals to provide a medical screening exam and stabilizing treatment to anyone who presents with an emergency medical condition. Triage does not constitute a medical screening exam which must be done by an ED MD or PA.
2. EMTALA regulations apply to anyone seeking emergency care on hospital property, including areas within 250 yards. Hospitals can face penalties for violating EMTALA.
3. The ESI triage system categorizes patients into 5 levels based on acuity - from level 1 requiring resuscitation to level 5 for non-urgent conditions. It considers factors like life threats, resources needed
The document provides guidance on conducting triage interviews in an emergency department. It outlines that the purpose of the triage interview is to gather enough information to prioritize patient care needs. It describes the steps nurses should take which include greeting patients empathetically, performing brief visual and physical assessments, documenting findings, assigning priority levels, and providing ongoing reassessment. The document emphasizes the importance of effective communication skills and addressing nonverbal cues to fully understand patient presentations.
This document provides instructions on learning first aid skills including: assessing if a person is unconscious, putting someone in the recovery position, and what to do and say when making an emergency call. It begins with an example of a girl who helped someone choking at the cinema and explains why it's important to learn first aid skills like opening airways and recovery positions. It then gives steps to assess if someone is unconscious, how to open an airway, and how to properly position someone in the recovery position. It concludes by explaining the key information needed when calling emergency services.
Triage is the process of sorting injured patients based on their need for immediate medical treatment. It allows for prioritization of care when resources are insufficient for all patients. There are typically four categories in a triage system - Immediate (red), requiring treatment now or the patient will die; Delayed (yellow), serious injuries but stable for now; Minimal (green), minor injuries can wait; and Expectant (black), little chance of survival so comfort care only. The document provides examples of types of injuries that would fall under each category and explains the purpose and process of triaging multiple patients in a disaster or emergency situation.
Triage is the process of sorting patients based on the urgency of their condition to determine priority of treatment. The goal is to provide the right care to the right patient at the right time. There are different categories for triage, such as immediate, urgent, less urgent and non-urgent. The triage nurse conducts an initial assessment of the patient's airway, breathing, circulation and disability level to identify life-threatening issues and assign an acuity level for treatment. Re-triage is important as a patient's condition may deteriorate while waiting. The triage nurse plays a key role in efficiently sorting and treating patients based on need.
1. The document discusses different types and purposes of triage. Triage is used to prioritize patient treatment during mass casualty events based on urgency of conditions. It aims to allocate patients to the most appropriate care provider and area to maximize lives saved.
2. Primary triage is done in the field to classify patients into categories of urgent need. Secondary triage in the ED further evaluates patients and assigns color codes. Tertiary triage by specialists determines who needs emergency surgery or ICU care.
3. The triage process involves classifying patients into categories of red (most urgent), yellow, green, or black (deceased) based on injury severity and prognosis to direct patients to the right level
This document outlines a triage protocol as defined by Ms. Ambika Bagora. Triage is the process of sorting patients by medical need to ensure the most critical receive care first. It describes different types of triage including simple, advanced, continuous integrated, and reverse triage. Patients are categorized by condition into priority levels like red, orange, yellow, and green. Effective triage requires training, critical thinking skills, and maintaining good communication throughout the process.
This document discusses disaster surgery and mass casualty incidents. It defines mass casualty incidents as those involving hundreds of casualties that strain local hospital capacity. Disasters can be natural, like earthquakes, or man-made, like accidents or terrorist attacks. When they produce more patients than initial responders can handle, triage is critical to sort patients into categories based on need. The goal of triage is to minimize loss of life by providing the most urgent care first. Fundamental steps in management include assessing airway, breathing, circulation, disability and exposure to stabilize patients.

First Aid in emergency 4.4.22 for MBBS batch.pptxanjalatchi
This document provides an overview of first aid training topics including definitions, objectives, principles, and guidelines. It discusses key concepts such as:
- The history and development of organized first aid efforts from the late 19th century onward.
- Definitions of first aid as the initial assistance given to someone who is injured or ill before full medical treatment is available.
- The "3 Ps" principles of first aid - to preserve life, prevent worsening of conditions, and promote recovery.
- Guidelines for first aiders including remaining calm, ensuring safety, calling for help, and gaining consent before treating.
- An overview of first aid skills like assessing airway, breathing, and circulation,
First aid is emergency assistance given until professional medical help arrives. It involves assessing the situation, preventing further harm, and attempting to save the person's life. The basic first aid steps (DRABCD) are: check for danger, check for response, open the airway, check for breathing, and if not breathing begin CPR with chest compressions and breaths until help arrives. Taking risks requires considering possible consequences to yourself and others, and risks can have both positive and negative influences from factors like your self-concept, gender, family, previous experiences, media, peers, culture and laws.
L1 introduction to basic life support.pptxOsmanAli92
This document provides an introduction to basic first aid principles and guidelines. It outlines that first aid is immediate care for injured or ill individuals until further medical help arrives. The key objectives of first aid are to preserve life, prevent worsening conditions, promote recovery, and protect from further injury. First aid focuses on maintaining primary body functions like airway, breathing, and circulation. It also describes necessary first aid kit supplies and qualities of an effective first aider, such as being highly trained and up-to-date on skills. The document presents an action plan and guidelines for first aid assessment and care.
This document provides information on first aid education, including the roles and responsibilities of first aiders, basic first aid procedures, and emergency action principles. It discusses how first aid refers to immediate care for injured or ill individuals until full medical treatment is available. A first aider's goals are to preserve life, prevent worsening of conditions, promote recovery, provide pain relief, and protect unconscious patients. The key steps in emergency response are ensuring safety, checking responsiveness, and calling emergency services if needed.
Principles of First Aid outlines the role and responsibilities of a first aider. The three aims of first aid are to preserve life, prevent worsening, and promote recovery. A first aider must first ensure the safety of the situation and not endanger themselves or others. Their role is to provide initial care until emergency medical help arrives through actions like controlling bleeding, treating for shock, and calling for an ambulance. A first aider must protect the casualty's privacy and document their care provided. They should be aware of potential environmental and human dangers at the scene like broken glass or risk of infection from bodily fluids.
The document provides information on first aid. It begins with defining first aid as the immediate care given to an injured or ill person by a non-expert. It discusses the objectives of first aid which are to preserve life, prevent further harm, seek medical help, and provide reassurance. The document also covers legal concerns in providing first aid, transmission of diseases, characteristics of a good first aider, and assessing patients using scene size-up, primary and secondary surveys. It discusses managing bleeding, shock, wounds, burns, and injuries to bones, joints and muscles. Techniques for handling airway emergencies like choking, respiratory arrest, asthma attacks and hyperventilation are also outlined.
First aid is immediate assistance given to someone who is injured or suddenly ill. It aims to preserve life, prevent further harm, and promote recovery until full medical treatment is available. Certain skills are essential for first aid, including maintaining an open airway and breathing, stopping bleeding, treating burns, and caring for fractures. While basic first aid principles can be acquired through life experiences, effective life-saving interventions require training. Specific types of first aid training exist for situations like aquatic environments, wilderness areas, or mental health crises.
This document provides information on first aid practices and procedures. It discusses [1] the roles and training of first aiders, [2] basic life support techniques like CPR and use of an AED, [3] general directions for providing first aid like assessing injuries and calling for help, and [4] methods for emergency rescue and transfer of victims. The "chain of survival" concept emphasizes that a series of timely interventions must occur to maximize chances of survival after sudden cardiac arrest.
The document provides an introduction to first aid principles including the importance of timely emergency care. It discusses the primary survey process (DR-ABCDE) for assessing patients which focuses on identifying life-threatening issues like airway obstruction, lack of breathing, or severe bleeding. The priorities for first aid interventions are to ensure an open airway, support breathing, and control hemorrhaging. Victims should only be moved if necessary to prevent further injury, and definitive medical care needs to be arranged as soon as possible.
Emergency nursing involves caring for patients during critical illnesses or injuries. Emergency nurses conduct assessments, assist with procedures, communicate with EMS, and provide critical care. Florence Nightingale was the first emergency nurse during the Crimean War in 1854. Emergency nursing standards and certification were established in the 1970s-1980s. Emergency nurses are trained to think and act quickly while considering different nursing specialties. They conduct triage to prioritize patients and follow assessment protocols to rapidly identify life-threatening issues. Emergency nurses play a key role in patient management by preparing equipment, assisting with procedures, documenting care, and facilitating transfers. Research in emergency nursing is encouraged by professional organizations.
This document provides information on general first aid. It defines first aid as immediate care given to an injured person until medical assistance arrives. The objectives of first aid are to alleviate suffering, prevent further injury, and prolong life. The document outlines guidelines for giving emergency care, including assessing the scene and victim for safety, requesting help, intervening with first aid as needed, and avoiding further harm. It describes priorities like opening the airway, restoring breathing and circulation.
This document provides information on first aid, including objectives, definitions, common emergencies, transportation of casualties, bandaging, qualities of first aiders, and first aid skills. It aims to describe the principles and practice of first aid, and to enable students to promote safety, prevent accidents, and manage common trauma and emergencies. The document outlines how to assess emergency situations, provide initial care including restoring breathing and circulation, and calling for additional assistance.
First aid refers to the immediate care given to someone who is injured or becomes ill. The priorities of a first aider are to assess the situation calmly, protect oneself and the casualty from further harm, provide early treatment starting with the most serious injuries, and arrange for emergency help. Effective first aid aims to preserve life, prevent worsening of injuries, and promote recovery using methods like the ABCDE approach of assessing airway, breathing, circulation, disability, and exposure or the DRSABCD method of checking for danger, getting a response, summoning help, and then airway, breathing, CPR, and defibrillation.
Module 1 Guidelines In Giving Emergency CareJack Frost
This document provides guidelines for emergency care, including establishing an emergency plan, gathering needed materials, and following four emergency action principles: survey the scene, activate medical assistance, do a primary survey of the victim, and do a secondary survey. It describes the elements of surveying the scene and calling for assistance. The primary survey involves checking consciousness, breathing, airway, and circulation. The secondary survey includes interviewing the victim, checking vital signs, and doing a head-to-toe examination. The document also lists golden rules for providing emergency care, such as obtaining consent when possible and caring for the most serious injuries first.

Algebraic expressions can be formed using variables, constants, and mathematical operations. Variables represent letters that can take on any value, while constants represent fixed numbers. There are different types of algebraic expressions including monomials, binomials, and trinomials. The value of an algebraic expression can be found by substituting values for the variables and simplifying. Identities are equations that are always true regardless of the values of variables. Common identities include (a+b)2, (a-b)2, and a2 - b2.
This document discusses different methods of heat transfer - conduction, convection, and radiation. It provides examples of each in daily life and defines key related terms like temperature, units of heat, calorimetry, calorimeter, thermostat, and thermoflask. Conduction occurs through direct contact between objects and involves the transfer of kinetic energy between adjacent particles. Convection involves the movement of molecules or atoms within fluids like liquids and gases. Radiation can transfer heat through empty space via electromagnetic waves.
The document discusses different types of changes that occur around us. It defines slow changes as those that take hours, days, months or years, such as hair and nail growth or seasonal changes. Fast changes are those that occur within seconds or minutes, like a bursting balloon or burning paper. Reversible changes can return to the original state, like stretching a rubber band or melting ice, while irreversible changes cannot be reversed, such as curdling milk or digestion. The document provides examples of each type of change and distinguishes between reversible and irreversible, as well as slow and fast changes.
This document discusses carbon and its compounds. It begins by introducing carbon as an important non-metallic element that exists in both free and combined states in nature.

The document goes on to describe several unique features of carbon, including its ability to form chains, exist in different allotropes like diamond and graphite, and form multiple bonds. It concludes by emphasizing carbon's abundance and importance to life.
This document is about fluids and their properties. It provides an index of topics to be covered, including pressure, equations of pressure, Pascal's principle, buoyancy, Archimedes' principle, fluid flow, and Bernoulli's equation. Key concepts that will be explained are how pressure is transmitted in fluids, hydraulic devices that use Pascal's principle, calculating buoyant force, and equations governing fluid continuity and flow.
This document discusses measurement in physics. It introduces the need for measurement and defines physical quantities. There are two types of physical quantities - fundamental and derived. Seven units make up the fundamental units used to measure the seven dimensions of the world: length, mass, time, temperature, amount of substance, electric current, and luminous intensity. Two supplementary units are also introduced. The document outlines different units for measuring length and defines the dimensions of physical quantities. It concludes by mentioning the least count of instruments used for measurement.
This document discusses different types of motion including linear, circular, rotational, and vibratory motion. It defines concepts like rest and motion using a frame of reference. The document also covers 1D, 2D and 3D motion with examples. It distinguishes between scalar and vector quantities and discusses types of vectors and how they can be added.
This document provides an overview of electricity, atomic structure, electric charge, and electric circuits. It defines electricity as the flow of electric charge through a conductor. Atoms consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons, with protons and neutrons in the nucleus and electrons orbiting the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge while electrons have a negative charge. Electric circuits allow the flow of electrons from higher to lower potential through components connected in series or parallel. Key differences between series and parallel circuits are that current is the same but voltage varies in series circuits, while current varies but voltage is the same in parallel circuits.
This document discusses various methods for purifying organic compounds, including sublimation, crystallization, differential extraction, distillation, and chromatography. Purification is necessary to study the structure, physical, chemical and biological properties of organic compounds and must isolate the compound from any impurities. The appropriate purification method depends on the nature of the impurity and the organic compound. Common techniques include sublimation for volatile solids, crystallization using solvent selection and isolation, differential extraction using immiscible organic solvent layers, distillation, and chromatography using adsorbents and mobile/fixed phases.
This document provides an overview of electrochemistry and electrochemical cells. It defines electrochemistry as the branch of chemistry dealing with the relationship between electrical energy and chemical change. An electrochemical cell is a device that uses a chemical change to produce electricity or uses electricity to produce a chemical change. The document describes the components of electrochemical cells, including electrodes and electrolytes. It distinguishes between galvanic cells, which produce electricity from chemical reactions, and electrolytic cells, which use electricity to drive chemical reactions. Examples of the significance of electrochemistry include metal refining and batteries.
The document discusses various aspects of sound. It defines sound as a form of energy produced by vibrations that travel through a medium and are detected by the human ear. It describes how sound is produced by vibrating objects and propagated through materials like air, water and steel. It discusses key characteristics of sound including amplitude, frequency, wavelength, velocity and their definitions. It also covers topics like reflection of sound, echo, reverberation, ultrasound, sonar and their uses and applications. The document provides information on the structure of the human ear and production of sound using a tuning fork experiment.
The document discusses key concepts relating to heat and temperature. It defines heat as the spontaneous flow of energy from objects at a higher temperature to those at a lower temperature. Temperature is defined as the degree of hotness or coldness of a body. Different temperature scales such as Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin are also discussed. The document also covers heat capacity, specific heat capacity, and the various effects of heat such as expansion, changes in temperature and state, and chemical changes.
This document defines and provides examples of different types of energy, work, and their relationships. It states that work is done when a force causes an object to be displaced, and is calculated as the product of the force and displacement. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy depends on an object's position or state, such as gravitational potential energy which depends on height or elastic potential energy from deformation. Power is defined as the rate at which work is done or energy is delivered over time.
An electric motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. It works by passing an electric current through a conductor coil located in a magnetic field, which creates a force on the coil and causes it to rotate. Electric motors are crucial to modern life as they are used in many appliances and machines, powering things like fans, drills, and vehicles. The speed of an electric motor's coil rotation can be increased by strengthening the current, increasing the number of coil turns, enlarging the coil area, or boosting the magnetic field strength.
This document discusses the basic elements of electric circuits. It defines electric current as the flow of charges and an electric circuit as the path electrons flow through. It then lists the four elements of a simple circuit: a battery as the electricity source, a wire as the conducting path, a lamp as the resistor, and a switch to control the circuit. It also briefly mentions series and parallel circuits as types of simple circuits.
