📖About Triage and Resuscitation
Triage and resuscitation is the emergency process of rapidly assessing incoming patients to prioritise care based on the severity of their condition, followed by immediate stabilising interventions for those in critical distress. Triage ensures that patients with life-threatening emergencies such as cardiac arrest, severe trauma, or respiratory failure are seen first, while less urgent cases wait appropriately. Resuscitation involves securing the airway, supporting breathing and circulation, and controlling immediate threats to life. This coordinated process is the foundation of effective emergency department care and dramatically improves survival outcomes.
