trauma patients
•Once immediate survival is achieved definitive
assessment & treatment begins
• Priorities in management must always be salvage of

Field Triage- Color Coding Field Triage- Color Coding
•Triage- sorting of patients by injury severity and
need for transport
•RED-most critically injured-immediate transfer to
hospital
•YELLOW-less critically injured-delayed transfer
to hospital without endangering life
• GREEN-No life/limb threatening injury- patient
ambulatory-may not need IP treatment
