I agree with Greg Friese. Using MCI format on multiple patient incidents can be diasterous. The amount of patients does not alway mean MCI. Jurisdictional resources should be the a key factor in mitagating the event.

No matter how long the list of fine academics - it's exactly these type of simple but powerful issues that can get overlooked. I think perhaps a partial explanation why - might be that the EMS profession has learned a lot about MCI management in r...

As with all guidelines, the Field Triage Guidelines need to be updated. Just like CDC revises immunization guidelines, we anticipate we'll be updating these guidelines in a few years. Or even sooner if there's compelling evidence we need to change...

I agree that the nomenclature should more closely follow industry standards and federal terminology.

Greg Friese replied to Rick Hunt, MD, FACEP's discussion 'Got an Opinion about CDC's Field Triage Guidelines?' in the group EMS Instructors
I am looking forward to the webcast. I was working on an article about the guidelines today. One misconception I think that exists is that triage is most often associated with multiple patient incidents. Thus I have read things associating guidel...

I was personally very impressed with the product, it established a clear cut algorithm without a lot of the "hysterics of the bad one events" being based predominantly on physiologic status (though MOI qualifiers were not clearly explained as cons...

Ben Waller commented on Rick Hunt, MD, FACEP's blog post 'Why is CDC Putting Out New Field Triage Guidelines?'
Dr. Hunt, I understand the history, but is that what really matters right now? I don't disagree with the concept of sending patients to the most appropriate facility, regardless of whether the incident generated one patient or two hundred patients...

Got an Opinion about CDC’s Field Triage Guidelines?

As with all guidelines, the Field Triage Guidelines need to be updated. Just like CDC revises immunization guidelines, we anticipate we'll be updating these guidelines in a few years. Or even sooner if there's compelling evidence we need to change them in the best interest of our patients.

So, I would like to also hear your reactions—positive, neutral, or negative—to the actual criteria. How does it, or will it, impact what you do everyday?… Continue

Why is CDC Putting Out New Field Triage Guidelines?

...So why is CDC putting out new field triage guidelines? As someone who has worked in the emergency care field for over twenty years, I know first-hand that the decisions made at the scene of an injury are vital to saving lives. That’s why as CDC’s Director of Injury Response, I feel so strongly about making sure you have access to information and tools to help you continue to do that great work.

It has been a long process, but worth the effort. To start, CDC partnered with the American Colleg… Continue

Fly Car Medics
If you work in a "fly car" or "first responder" this is the place for you. Say hello, get to know each other, share experiences good or bad. A good place to vent or just learn what we all do in our regions.
