5. Into which triage category should David be placed?
Red—Most urgent; first priority
First-priority patients have life-threatening injuries and are experiencing hypoxia or nearing hypoxia.
Examples of injuries in this category include shock, chest wounds, internal hemorrhage, head injuries
producing increased loss of consciousness, partial- or full-thickness burns over 20% to 60% of the body
surface, and chest pain.
Yellow—Urgent; second priority
Second-priority patients have injuries with systemic effects and complications but are not yet hypoxic or
in shock. The patients appear stable enough to withstand up to a 2-hour wait without immediate risk.
Examples of injuries in this category include multiple fractures, open fractures, spinal injuries, large
lacerations, partial- or full-thickness burns over 10% to 20% of the body surface, and medical
emergencies, such as diabetic coma, insulin shock, and epileptic seizure. Patients with second-priority
status might need to be observed closely for signs of shock, at which time they would be re-categorized
to first priority.
Green—Third priority
