About

This short video reviews trauma triage systems. It explains START for adults using RPM (Respirations, Perfusion, Mentation) and how to declare someone dead by opening the airway. The excerpt introduces JumpSTART for children (1995), noting differences like faster respiratory rates and alternative perfusion/mentation checks. SALT (2008) is presented as similar to START but combines adult/pediatric considerations and includes emergency treatments. RAMP, predominantly used in the military for adults, focuses on radial pulse and following commands. The discussion highlights the practical challenge of applying these systems in mass casualty incidents.
