Live or Let Die: Outbreak Triage
I was reading about military Triage and first aid the other day and it got me thinking. If people are injured in your group during a Z-Day scenerio while under attack, having a triage system could be very useful for medics. Triage is the process of evaluating injuries and determining who is first priority when it comes to medical treatment. Then a flag or strip of cloth is placed on the casualty indicating his status. Black for deceased and mortally wounded, Red for critical, Yellow for Serious, and Green for minor. Triage evaluation is quick and simple, which is vital during a combat situation, lest your Medic become the next casualty. Of course the standard Triage system willneed some adjustment to fit into an infected world. This is what I have come up wit
Max6110's Triage
Format = Color: Status: Explanation
Black: Deceased: Clearly and positively dead
Brown: Unsalvagable: Beyond medical treatment
Red: Critical: Life threatening but treatable, treat quickly
Yellow: Serious: Non life threatening, treat within 24hrs
Green: Minor: Walking wounded, treat within 48hrs
Blue: Quarantine: May be infected, fever, chills, bite mark, quarrantine for 24hrs
Purple: Kill: Infected, destroy brain and dispose of before it turns
Feel free to edit spelling, grammar, phrasing and add your own Ideas for a triage system.
