Triage Systems in Mass Casualty Incidents and Disasters A Review Study with A Worldwide Approach

The authors conducted a literature review which identified 20 different triage systems. They conclude there is no consensus on the best triage technique to use during mass casualty incidents, and that triage systems may rely on different criteria such as vital signs, resources available, and facilities required. Finally, the authors recommend that triage protocols be designed for local conditions and resources.
