After you have created your new discussion topic, you are required to read and respond to a
minimum of two (2) of your classmates discussion topics. Think of your responses in terms of a contribution to a dialogue, not a writing exercise or a chat room. Elaborate a single idea and keep your post short but concise as if you were holding a conversation with your classmate(s). Incorporate what you have learned from the weekly reading material and from your own real-world experiences. Don’t forget to use proper APA citations and references whenever necessary.
Johnathan: Scenario 2: A bus carrying 40 high school students has overturned on a freeway in Oklahoma. Injuries range from minor to major and some students have died. How can triage be applied in this situation?
Triage can be applied in this situation by assessing those students who are injured from minor to major. This is because Triage is an assessment and categorization of injuries for treatment based on the severity (McEntire, D. A. 2014). The most common triage system utilized in the United States is called START which stands for (simple triage and rapid treatment). The START system is utilized for patients who are above the age of eight years old seeing as the patients in this scenario are high schoolers this is the method that will be utilized (Yancey CC., 2022). The condition and status of the 40 students should be classified within 60 seconds with various criteria taken into account such as the presence of bleeding, respiratory rate, pulse, and the patient’s ability to follow commands. If any of the 40 high schoolers have a low pulse, are bleeding, have a low respiratory rate, and cannot follow commands after the overturning of the bus they can be put into a category reflecting this severity as will those who are minorly injured. These categorizations are used to prevent individuals who do not need additional medical care from being sent anyway. Those who are severely injured then should be immediately transported to the nearest emergency room for proper care for their injuries and further monitoring. In addition to this, the hospitals receiving patients from the overturned bus should receive ample notification so that a room is prepared for the majorly injured and they can be seen immediately upon arrival. However, for those who are able to follow commands and have a good respiratory rate, pulse, and no signs of bleeding first responders then can asses their minor injuries and carry out the necessary procedures. However, these necessary procedures for the minorly injured should only be taken after the needs of the people who have severe injuries have been met and once they have received proper immediate care, and have been successfully transported per the guidelines of triage. The necessary procedures carried out by EMTs and EMS workers arriving on the scene include providing basic first aid to those with minor injuries.

Brooklyn: n a major accident such as a bus overturning with forty people inside, resulting in the death of some of the passengers on board is devastating. Triage is one of the most crucial factors in emergency situations, it is even used on an everyday basis in emergency rooms and doctor’s offices. Mass casualties require the medical personnel to evaluate the extent of injuries on those affected, and then determine if they need immediate medical attention. They would provide medical attention to those with injuries that can be treated by the medical professionals in the field, and some are immediately transported to the nearest hospital. As for those who have succumbed to their injuries, they will be appropriately dealt with, and those personnel will work to notify the families of those who passed. Some medical professionals even volunteer to assist at the scene, using it as a waiting room for the hospitals who will have an influx of patients. One of the more challenging aspects is when the families get involved and are looking for updates, so then you must also ensure you are providing them with information whenever possible.
