Be able to prioritize between patients or within a patient Triage
using the methods of triage discussed in class - the race you don't want to win
Definition of triage
- the preliminary assessment of patients or casualties in order to determine the
urgency of their need for treatment and the nature of treatment required
Primary survey
- Identify life-threatneing injuries and initiate appropriate resuscitation/treatment
- systems-based approach
Secondary survey
- gather more information --> perform full physical exam, obtain history, labs
Determine immediate treatment vs delayed treatment by categorizing triage into
systems
- Respiratory, Circulatory, neurologic, urogenital, gastrointestinal

Identify what needs to address first in your patient by Address needs based on systems (primary survey)
creating a prioritized problem list
Respiratory
- observe respiratory rate, effot, and pattern
- abnormal noises and pattern (dyspnea)
-- inspiratory or expiratory
- auscultation of quadrants
- open mouth breathing (cats = bad)
Circulatory
- mucus membranes: color and CRT, moisture/hydration status
- pulse quality
- heart rate + ascult heart
- Normal = shades of pink
- Abnormal = non-pink (purple/blue, yellow, pale)
- external evidence of hemorrhage
Neurologic
- Seizures/ tremors
- abnormal mentation, pacing, circling
- gait and posture
- cranial nerves
- head trauma

Urogenital
- urethral obstruction (assess bladder size and turgor) of any cat
- dystocia
-rectal/vaginal/urethral prolapse
- penile swelling
Actions:
- stop the bleeding
- fluid therapy
- address the pain
Recall how blood flows through a normal patient Venous cirulation --> right atrium --> tricuspid valve --> right ventricle -->
pulmonic valve --> pulmonary artery --> lungs --> pulmonary veins --> left atrium
--> mitral valve --> left ventricle --> aortic valve --> aorta --> systemic circulation
