There are different triage systems used (i.e., SALT, START, JumpSTART (pediatrics), etc.) in mass casualties. Based on the case scenario below, which triage system do you think is best suited int the emergency? Please explain your selection and reasoning.
Case 1. The hospital disaster plan is activated while all victims are sent to a triage area set up in a safe location (e.g., hospital parking lot). A physician, accompanied by nurses from the emergency department, initiates triage. Patients with critical illnesses or trauma are transported directly to the emergency department. Those most severely affected are treated in the emergency department and receive immediate evaluation, while those with less severe injuries are given first aid in the parking lot or wait until they can be treated in the emergency department. The hospital disaster plan includes utilizing staff from other hospital departments to assist in the event of a mass casualty incident.
