Area of Science:

  • Emergency Medicine
  • Disaster Management
  • Public Health Policy

Background:

  • Mass casualty incidents (MCIs) necessitate efficient patient prioritization.
  • Effective triage protocols are crucial for optimizing resource allocation and patient outcomes during large-scale emergencies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of patient triage during mass casualty incidents.
  • To address key questions faced by clinicians regarding triage principles and practices.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review synthesizing existing knowledge on disaster triage.
  • Exploration of common clinical queries related to triage procedures.

Main Results:

  • Defines triage and its critical role in MCI response.
  • Discusses various types of disaster triage, ethical considerations, and governance frameworks.
  • Identifies gaps in current research and outlines future research priorities.

Conclusions:

  • Standardized and ethically sound triage practices are essential for effective MCI management.
  • Further research is needed to refine triage strategies and improve clinician preparedness for mass casualty events.
