Bellows' triage system
Bellows' triage system is a method used by emergency responders to quickly assess and prioritize patients based on the severity of their injuries or illnesses. It assigns each patient a category, typically from immediate to minor, to ensure those needing urgent care are treated first. This system helps organize limited resources efficiently during crises, allowing responders to focus on saving lives and reducing overall harm. It emphasizes rapid assessment, clear prioritization, and effective resource distribution in emergency situations.
