| | Triage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Triage is a system used by medical or emergency personnel to ration limited medical resources when the number of injured needing care exceeds the resources available to perform care so as to treat the greatest number of patients possible. | | | In addition to the standard practices of triage as mentioned above, there are conditions where sometimes the less wounded are treated in preference to the more severely wounded. | | | The involved are addressed to another structure called the CUMP–Cellule d'urgence médico-psychologique (medical-psychological urgency cell); this is a resting zone, with food and possibly temporary lodging, and a psychologist to take care of the brief reactive psychosis and avoid post-traumatic stress disorder. |

| | eMedicine - Triage : Article by Robert Derlet, MD |
| | Triage nurses should be urged to err on the side of caution by assigning patients to more severe triage categories. | | | Triage specificity and sensitivity increases as a function of time spent performing triage on each individual patient. | | | Triage is derived from the French trier, meaning "to sort." Surgical triage developed from the need to prioritize the care of injured soldiers in battlefield settings. |

| | Triage |
| | From the French word meaning "sorting," triage is the process of screening patients to determine the nature and urgency of their medical condition and assign treatment priorities. | | | Otherwise, utilitarian considerations characteristic of the original understanding of triage may dominate priority setting that is more properly approached in terms of human dignity, distributive justice and the common good. | | | The practice is most common in emergency situations, but may also be useful in other areas of acute care. |

| | Some authors suggest that many ED patients can be treated in less acute settings, such as outpatient clinics, by improving access to primary care and by triaging patients out of the ED. | | | This should include assuring patients access to primary care, addressing other causes of ED overcrowding, and determining whether ED care for certain conditions is less effective or more costly that other sources of care. | | | This Issue Brief summarizes recent research on the safety and effectiveness of some of these mechanisms. |
