Triage is a dynamic process and is
usually done more than once.
Primary Disaster Triage

Triage based on physiology

 Primary Disaster Triage

The most commonly used adult tool in

the US and Canada is the START
tool.
The pediatric MCI primary triage tool
most commonly used in the US and
Canada is Jump START.
 The Best Tool?

No MCI
primary triage
tool has been
validated by
outcome data.

Triage Categories
 NATO Guidelines
Red
Airway obstruction, cardiorespiratory
failure, significant external hemorrhage,
shock, sucking chest wound, burns of face
or neck

Yellow
Open thoracic wound, penetrating
abdominal wound, severe eye injury,
avascular limb, fractures, significant
burns other than face, neck or perineum
 NATO Guidelines
Green
Minor lacerations, contusions, sprains,
superficial burns, partial-thickness
burns of < 20% BSA

Black
Head injury with GCS<8, burns >85%
BSA, multisystem trauma, signs of
impending death
 START: Step 1

Triage officer announces that all

patients that can walk should get up
and walk to a designated area for
eventual secondary triage.

All ambulatory patients are initially

tagged as Green.
 START: Step 2
Triage officer assesses patients in the
order in which they are encountered
Assess for presence or absence of
spontaneous respirations
If breathing, move to Step 3
If apneic, open airway
If patient remains apneic, tag as Black
If patient starts breathing, tag as Red
 START: Step 3

Assess respiratory rate

If 30, proceed to Step 4
If 30, tag patient as Red
 START: Step 4

Assess capillary refill

If 2 seconds, move to Step 5
If 2 seconds, tag as Red
 START: Step 5

Assess mental status

If able to obey commands, tag
as Yellow
If unable to obey commands,
tag as Red

Key Points about MCI Triage
MCI triage will never be logistically,
intellectually, or emotionally easy

but we must be prepared to do it

using the best of our knowledge and
abilities.
 Key Points
The physiology of adults and children
differ; therefore different primary
triage systems should be used
Use JumpSTART for infants through
older children
Use START for young adults and older
Primary triage is just the first look at
an MCI victim, similar to the
primary/initial survey/assessment
