Answer 1

emergency triage, urgent triage and non urgent Are triage classifications which was used earlier.All these categories go through a definite set of assessment by the health care worker.

(1)Triage is usually performed at three stages: the primary triage that is carried out at the scene of the incident by an emergency technician aims at the prompt assessment of the injured person and rapid transfer to the treatment center. Secondary triage which is used when, due to the large extent of the incident and lack of resources in the pre-hospital, the transmission of the injured person has been prolonged in the scene. In these cases, triage will be done by an emergency doctor or surgeon as soon as the injured person arrives at the hospital. The third triage is performed to prioritise and decide on receiving care services, including transferring to the operating room or the intensive care unit. This step will be done by a surgeon or a critical care specialist .

So primary and secondary triage is common to all the categories

(2)Triage, by definition, is a dynamic process, as the patient's status can change rapidly. Hence reassessment is given to all irrespective of their categories, but the frequency of reassessment differs with different categories
