Abstract Triage is one of the most important management and decision-making concepts in emergency wards and disasters. One of the triage systems widely accepted and used to manage disasters is the simple triage and rapid treatment (START) system. Prioritizing patients in a mass casualty incident (MCI) setting can be a demanding task for health care personnel. Egypt has always been subject to disasters over the past years. The solution required for solving the problems associated with these disasters and incidents include preparedness and planning, application of advanced systems, ensuring the policy of accountability, existence of a successful scientific and executive program and availability of sufficient resources of emergency and trained as well as skilled human resources. Sedaghat et al., concluded that the level of awareness and performance of EMS personnel about pre-hospital triage in Northern Khuzestan is low. |
