Abstract

The importance of triage tools designed specifically for children in major incidents and in the emergency department (ED) is being increasingly recognised. Triage tools should be clinically safe and evidence based where possible. This review aims to summarise the triage systems available for children in the pre-hospital and ED setting, discuss the differences in triage systems around the world and look at possible triage solutions of the future.
