In the prehospital phase of disaster management the concept of triage is confused, complicated and too often unrealistic. It is proposed that where triage or sorting is necessary it should be based on the observation of vital signs and not on injuries or suspected injuries. It is hoped that such a system, based on everyday practice and easily understood, will be seriously considered for adoption at the disaster site.
在灾害管理的院前阶段，分诊的概念混乱、复杂且往往不切实际。有人提议，在有必要进行分诊或分类时，应基于生命体征的观察，而非基于损伤或疑似损伤。希望这样一个基于日常实践且易于理解的系统能在灾害现场被认真考虑采用。
