Managing a scene with multiple patients can be frustrating and difficult. These steps will help you systematically triage and treat each patient. They also will give you information to help you determine the number and types of additional rescue personnel, equipment and transport vehicles you need to manage the crisis.
It is important to recognize that you are not abandoning patients by assigning them the Delayed or Minor categories. They are being directed to the rescuers or facilities that have been assigned to handle those patients. The rescuers who are managing the Minor and Delayed patients will be reassessing them and will re-assign them to the Immediate category if they deteriorate.
