TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the dissemination and impact of the 2006 Guidelines for field triage of injured patients; outlines the methodology used by the Panel for its 2011 review; explains the revisions and modifications to the physiologic, anatomic, mechanism-of-injury, and special considerations criteria; and provides the rationale used by Panel for these changes.

TL;DR: These Guidelines are distributed with the understanding that the Brain Trauma Foundation, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and the other organizations that have collaborated in the development of these Guidelines are not engaged in rendering professional medical services.

TL;DR: The proposed guideline, entitled SALT (sort, assess, life-saving interventions, treatment and/or transport) triage, was developed based on the best available science and consensus opinion and incorporates aspects from all of the existing triage systems to create a single overarching guide for unifying the mass casualty triage process across the United States.

TL;DR: This report describes the process and rationale used by the Expert Panel on Field Triage to revise the Decision Scheme, an algorithm that guides EMS providers through four decision steps to determine the most appropriate destination facility within the local trauma care system.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined data from 2012-5 to determine trends in patients receiving multiple naloxone administrations (MNAs), using logistic regression including demographic, clinical, and operational information to examine factors associated with MNA.
