Guidelines for Field Triage of Injured Patients: Recommendations of the National Expert Panel on Field Triage, 2011
Field triage is a process used by emergency medical services providers to make decisions about the most appropriate destination hospital for injured patients. In 2011, CDC convened an expert panel to review the existing guidelines, which had last been modified in 2006. This report explains the revisions and modifications that were made to the 2006 guidelines and provides the rationale for these changes. This report is intended to help prehospital-care providers in their daily duties recognize individual injured patients who are most likely to benefit from specialized trauma center resources and is not intended as a mass casualty triage tool.
