Incident command system basic principles - ANS ✓Command officer is in
charge of establishing scene safety, scene size up, assure pt conditions are
prioritized (triage), establishing command name/post, give updates and reports
to on scene personnel, establish med officer and other roles (med officer is in
charge triage), summarize situation to new incident commander
START triage - ANS ✓a system that quickly distinguishes between critically ill
victims and the less severely injured
S- simple
T- triage
A- and
R- rapid
T- treatment
assess ability to walk, respiratory status, hemodynamic status (pulse), and
neurologic status
1. tell patient to move to a location (green tag)
2. assess respiratory, if pt not breathing, open airway. if does not breathe = black,
if breathes = red
3. assess hemodynamic status by checking bilateral radial pulses, if no radial
pulse = red

4. assess neurologic status by asking to show 3 fingers, if pt can't = red, if pt can =
yellow
JumpSTART triage - ANS ✓- for children younger than 8 years and are less than
100lb
1. identify walking wounded = green, infants or children not developed enough
should receive immediate secondary triage
not breathing = no pulse = black
not breathing = pulse, open airway = 5 rescue breaths = still no then black
2. assess respiratory rate
less than 15 or more than 45 = red
3. assess hemodynamic status
no pulse = red
4. assess neurologic status
use modified AVPU score
unresponsive, incomprehensible sounds, unable to localize pain = red
responds to pain, alert = yellow
triage tag system - ANS ✓#1 red (immediate)
#2 yellow (delayed)
#3 green (minor)
#4 black (dead/dying)
