riage_scoring_systems.htm

Name	Parameters	Notes
Prehospital Index	Systolic BP Pulse rate Respiratory rate Consciousness Penetrating wounds (chest or abdomen)	Scale is 0 to 24 (>3: major trauma)
CRAMS (Circulation, Respiration, Abdomen/Thorax, Motor, Speech)	Systolic BP or capillary refill Respirations Examination of trunk Motor function Speech pattern	Scale is 0 to 10 (<8: major trauma) Each parameter rated as normal, mildly abnormal, or highly abnormal
Revised Trauma Score	Systolic BP Respiratory rate GCS	0 to 7.8408 (<4: major trauma) GCS more heavily weighted
START (Simple triage and rapid treatment)	Ambulation Respiratory rate Capillary refill Consciousness	Stepwise algorithm designed for ease of use in mass casualty incident
GCS (Glasgow Coma Scale)	Eye response Verbal response Motor response	Scale is 3 to 15 (<8: severe brain injury)
MGAP (Mechanism, GCS, Age, arterial Pressure)	Mechanism (blunt) GCS Age (60 years) Systolic BP	Scale is 3 to 29 (<18: high risk)
mREMS (modified Rapid Emergency Medicine Score)	Age Systolic BP Heart rate Respiratory rate Oxygen saturation GCS	Scale is 0 to 26 (>13: high risk)
