Pediatric Triage

Pediatric triage is the process of quickly assessing and prioritizing a child's injuries or illnesses in an emergency setting. Healthcare professionals evaluate the severity of the child's condition based on symptoms, vital signs, and overall appearance. This helps determine who needs immediate attention versus those who can wait, ensuring that critically ill or injured children receive prompt care. The goal is to efficiently allocate medical resources, improve outcomes, and reduce risks during emergency situations involving children.
