Continuous integrated triageとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Continuous integrated triage is an approach to triage in mass casualty situations. It is both efficient and sensitive to psychosocial and disaster behavioral health issues that effect the number of patients seeking care (surge), the manner in which a hospital or healthcare facility deals with that surge (surge capacity), and the overarching medical needs of the event.

Continuous integrated traige combines three forms of triage with progressive specificity to most rapidly identify those patients in greatest need of care. It balances the needs of the individual patients against the available resources and the needs of other patients. Continuous integrated triage employs:

• Group (Global) Triage (i.e. M.A.S.S. Triage)
• Physiologic (Individual) Triage (i.e. S.T.A.R.T. or Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment)
• Hospital Triage (i.e. E.S.I. or Emergency Severity Index)
