Thats what I was taught as the primary triage standard for MCI's. Secondary triage is mechanism of injury and pulse rate or B/P.


Mass Casualty Incident, for those that dont know, is defined as any incident where the number of patients is greater than the resouces immediately available to treat their injuries.
