This article discusses the importance of effective triage in major incidents and the challenges with existing triage algorithms. The study aimed to develop criteria for testing major incident triage algorithms by involving experts from the UK and South Africa in a Delphi consensus method. The results identified specific clinical interventions associated with triage priority, which can be used to validate and improve major incident triage algorithms. The conclusion highlights the usefulness of the Delphi method in defining triage priorities and suggests its potential for developing criteria for other triage algorithms.
