Why TRIAGE ?<br />
• Conventional standards of medical care cannot<br />
be delivered to all casualties.<br />
As a consequence, medical resources and<br />
personnel must be allotted to provide<br />
the greatest good for the greatest number<br />
( concept of minimal acceptable care )<br />
• The goal is to identify the small number who will<br />
benefit from early scene <strong>management</strong><br />
Consequently, before giving any care,<br />
the first action must be a rapid examination of<br />
ALL the victims one by one,<br />
to identify the most severely injured.
