Triage Time: Efficient Patient Assessment & Prioritization

Triaging is a process of rapidly assessing casualties to determine the order in which they should receive medical treatment. The time spent on each victim during a triage will vary depending on the situation, but it is typically only a few minutes. This is because the goal of triage is to quickly identify and treat the most critical patients, and then move on to the next patient.

Triage decisions are typically based on the patient's vital signs, level of consciousness, and the severity of their injuries. The triage process can be conducted by any trained medical professional, but it is often performed by nurses or paramedics.
