Field triage score (FTS) in battlefield casualties: validation of a novel triage technique in a combat environment

Early identification of uncontrolled hemorrhage after trauma

“…Eastridge et al 30 at the US Army Institute of Surgical Research (USAISR) subsequently developed the Field Triage Score (FTS) based on 800,000 civilian records. This score uses only two components that are easily assessed in the field.…”

Feedback on terrorist attacks on November 13, 2015. Bataclan’s terrorist attack management by the tactical medical support of the French police

“…Ces deux médecins de pénétration du RAID ont effectué une catégorisation des victimes selon les principes de triage de médecine militaire et de catastrophe adaptés au triage médical tactique du RAID [1,[3][4][5]. Le premier principe d'extraction s'appuyait sur la mobilité des victimes, les valides s'extrayant rapidement par leurs propres moyens, les invalides restant au sol.…”

Remote triage support algorithm based on fuzzy logic

“…Xie et al 6 present designs of triage and medical evacuation systems for casualties at sea, including the storage and transmission of medical information during battlefield treatment and medical evacuation; their system consists of a medical information card, a multifunctional airbag triage vest and includes a triage classifier. Eastridge et al 7 present a novel triage algorithm that has been offered and evaluated in a combat environment based on Field Triage Score, whereas Jorma and colleagues8 present field experiences using a mobile radio frequency identification-based triage system. However, none of these systems consider the assessment of wounded soldiers and their transport priorities and employ static triage methods called simple triage and rapid treatment (START) and sort–assess–lifesaving interventions–treatment/transport (SALT), and these algorithms have poor agreement with the outcomes in real-case scenarios 9.…”
