EMS Mass Casualty Triage

The authors compare the Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment (START) algorithm, the Sort, Assess, Lifesaving interventions, Treatment and/or transport (SALT) triage method, and the JumpSTART modification to START for pediatric patients during a mass casualty incident. The authors note that “there is limited data available to support one system over another,” but using a consistent system is important.
