On-scene emergency response is a highly specialized task; sometimes, the management on site is more important than the emergency measures!
At the emergency scene, the first step is to conduct an injury assessment and classification of the wounded, which is essential during large-scale disasters.
Because then, the number of injured is large, the injuries are complex, and doctors and emergency resources are relatively limited. It's not about whose injuries are the most severe; there's an efficiency issue, and sometimes the choice is particularly cruel.
For example, a critically injured person requires a medical team three hours of surgery to survive!
And this medical team can also save six relatively seriously wounded individuals during this time. In such cases, how should one choose?
This requires the on-scene medical director to make decisions based on the classification of injuries.
The classification of the injured is generally divided into four categories by color.
