Haemodynamic support for paediatric septic shock: a global perspective
2023, The Lancet Child and Adolescent HealthValidation of the Interagency Integrated Triage Tool in a resource-limited, urban emergency department in Papua New Guinea: a pilot study
2021, The Lancet Regional Health - Western PacificCitation Excerpt :The Integrated Interagency Triage Tool (IITT), developed collaboratively by the World Health Organization (WHO), International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), is a novel, three-tier system purpose designed for resource-limited EC settings. Tools utilising three categories are well-suited to developing EDs because they are intuitive and efficient. [10–12,14] The IITT has been recommended by WHO in guidance related to the COVID-19 pandemic, but there are no published data regarding its performance. [32,33]
Work experience of triage nurses in emergency departments during the prevalence of COVID-19
2021, International Emergency NursingCitation Excerpt :It is particularly important to isolate and treat suspected cases in the early stage. During the epidemic period of infectious diseases, triage nurses in ED are the first line of defense [7]. Under great pressure and in urgent need of attention, their experience is of great value to the formulation of nursing strategies.
Implementation of a novel three-tier triage tool in Papua New Guinea: A model for resource-limited emergency departments
2020, The Lancet Regional Health - Western PacificTriage conducted by lay-staff and emergency training reduces paediatric mortality in the emergency department of a rural hospital in Northern Mozambique
2019, African Journal of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :A three-day emergency triage and treatment course (ETAT) for the health staff of the EC was given in the second trimester. The ETAT guidelines involve the triage of patients according to emergency and priority signs using an A-B-C-D concept (Airway, Breathing, Circulation/Coma/Convulsion, Dehydration), and rely on clinical discriminators rather than physiologic parameters to stratify sick children [10,14]. Monthly refreshment trainings were provided to continually improve the clinical staff's paediatric emergency skills.
