Field triage is a decision scheme for assessing and selecting a transport destination for individual trauma patients.

The decision making process is based on a document released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) called “Guidelines for Field Triage of Injured Patients.” This program reviews the recommendations of the guidelines and the changes in field triage.
