Paediatric major incident triage tools for identifying those in need of life-saving interventions
Trauma (SAGE) · 2020-01-07 · Systematic review
Abstract
A short cut review was carried out to establish whether existing paediatric major incident triage tools identify patients requiring life-saving interventions. Sixteen papers presented the best evidence to answer the clinical question. The author, date and country of publication, patient group studied, study type, relevant outcomes, results and study weaknesses of these papers are tabulated. In summary, there is limited evidence for the validity of existing paediatric major incident triage tools.
