What is the most important component in initially triaging someone in an MCI?
What age range of a child does the Jump START triage algorithm apply to?
Children 1 to 8 years old or under 100 pounds
Pt's respiratory rate is less than 30, capillary refill less than 2 seconds, bleeding controlled, A&O x4, but can't walk. What color are they?
YELLOW
What do you do if someone isn't breathing?
Reposition the airway and look for a return in breathing
What do we do if a child isn't breathing after repositioning the airway with a pulse?
Give 5 rescue breaths
Pt is breathing more than 30 times a minute, has a capillary refill time of 3 seconds, is unresponsive, and is the bleeding is uncontrolled in her right leg. What color is she?
RED
If someone is breathing, what respiratory rate are we looking for?
Greater or less than 30 respirations/ minute
What respiratory rate are we looking for in children and what color would they be if they fall outside those parameters?
Greater than 15/ minute and less than 45/ minute
RED
This pt has a respiratory rate of less than 30/ minute, capillary refill less than 2 seconds, is A&O x4, controlled bleeding in the left calf, and can't walk. What color is she?
YELLOW/Delayed
If someone has a delayed capillary refill time of greater than 2 seconds, what triage color does that automatically make them and what are we assessing with capillary refill?
RED, and we're assessing for perfusion status
If a child can walk, is breathing more than 15/ minute and under 45/ minute, has a strong/regular peripheral pulse, and obeys commands, but has a four inch rod impaled in their right humorous, what color would they be?
RED (Up for debate... could be a yellow)
This Irish man's respiratory rate is less than 30, capillary refill of less than 2 seconds, obeys all commands, and has no injuries. What color is he?
GREEN
If someone can't walk but is breathing at a rate of less than 30, has a capillary refill time of less than 2 seconds, and is A&O x4, what color would they be?
YELLOW/Delayed
If a child is unresponsive with a normal respiratory rate and good peripheral pulse, what color does that make them?
RED
This pt is apneic, has a capillary refill of 4 seconds, and is unresponsive. What color is he?
BLACK
