Abstract
- Emergency patients may present with life‐threatening problems requiring immediate care. Triage focuses on the identification of patients requiring immediate stabilization and involves telephone triage, waiting room triage, and the primary survey. Assessment of the emergency patient should concentrate on airway, breathing, and circulation (ABC) and follows a standardized approach to decrease the risk of missing a life‐threatening problem.
