Triage is the process of determining the priority of medical treatment for patients in need. This process is used in emergency situations to ensure that the most critically ill or injured patients receive care first. Triage is a complex process that requires a combination of medical knowledge, experience, and judgment.
What is Triage?
Triage is a medical term that refers to the process of sorting and prioritizing patients based on the severity of their injuries or illnesses in order to determine the order in which they will receive treatment. This process is typically used in emergency situations where there are limited resources and a large number of patients who need care.
