1 to quickly examine patients who are taken to a hospital in order to decide which ones are the most seriously ill and must be treated first:
The casualties were triaged.
Patients are triaged so that those most in need get blood first.
The hardest thing for me was having to start triaging and treating patients in a less than ideal environment.
The job consisted of triaging stacks of burglary incident reports.
The sheer number of claims has insurers triaging which policyholders get attention first.
The patient has already been triaged by an experienced, qualified nurse.
Part of my work involved triaging patients with knee problems.
With two of us triaging as fast as we safely can, there is still a two-hour wait.
These cases need to be triaged to prioritize those felony arrests where you really want to keep the suspect in custody.
The nursing profession is enhancing its role and developing new tasks: nurse practitioners, nurse consultants, triaging and handling casualty.
I appreciate that it is being rebuilt at the moment, that it is improving, and that most patients are "triaged", or analysed, by a nurse within five minutes of arriving.
However, only two organizations used nurse triage, both large urban co-ops.
Likewise, it differs from battlefield triage in that the participants neither agreed nor expected to be involved in lifethreatening events.
