In man-made and natural disasters, prehospital providers and their emergency medical services systems may find it necessary to shift their triage methodology from a daily operational framework of treating the most severely injured patient first and providing the highest level of care for each patient to the concept of providing the greatest good for the greatest number of casualties. In a scenario where there are an overwhelming number of casualties, this shift will be necessary, both to identify critically injured patients who can benefit from immediate, life-saving interventions and to preserve prehospital and hospital resources. This report examines triage issues as they apply to mass casualty events.
在人为和自然灾害中，院前急救人员及其急救医疗服务系统可能会发现有必要将其分诊方法从日常操作框架（即先治疗伤势最严重的患者并为每位患者提供最高水平的护理）转变为为最大数量的伤亡人员提供最大益处的理念。在伤亡人数众多的情况下，这种转变将是必要的，这既是为了识别那些能够从立即的救生干预中受益的重伤患者，也是为了保存院前和医院资源。本报告探讨了适用于大规模伤亡事件的分诊问题。
