The triaging process often involves a rapid assessment of a patient's condition using specific criteria. Here are the general steps:
Initial Assessment: Nurses quickly evaluate the patient's vital signs, symptoms, and medical history. Classification: Patients are categorized into different levels of urgency. Common systems include the Emergency Severity Index (ESI) and the Manchester Triage System (MTS). Continuous Monitoring: Patients are continuously reassessed to adjust their priority level as needed.
