  • This is a review of the color triage system. This is meant to be a memorable way to remember the different priorities and treatments. The lyrics are written to Billy Joel's 'Uptown Girl'. If you wish to leave comments, please use constructive criticism and be respectful. A lot of hours went into making this film. It is not to make fun of an MCI situation, but to review the color system in a unique way.
    Disclaimer According to the most recent FEMA's NIMS, the ICS does not include an "EMS Command". The statement in the song only represents that a general command structure needs to be created in order for better organization. We apologize for any confusion.
    Some Examples:
    Red Tag:
    Loss of consciousness
    Severe hemorrhage (or in shock)
    Severe respiratory distress
    Burns affecting face and/or respiratory system
    Complicated fractures
    Pregnancy (with obvious injury/illness)
    Open (penetrating wounds) from throat to crotch
    Yellow Tag:
    Moderate blood loss (non-life-threatening)
    Burns not affecting respiratory system
    Head or spinal injury (conscious with no dyspnea)
    Green Tag:
    Walking wounded (need BLS care only)
    Black Tag:
    Dead or resources are not available
    --MCI Triage Song Lyrics--
    We need to start triage before people die
    We have to have the upper hand
    It is important to create a command
    We need a leader to provide direction
    And an officer to set up transport
    A treatment officer treats minor trauma
    And most importantly, the triage crew
    That's what we'll do
    And when that is set
    Start triage time
    You have just thirty, seconds, you're behind
    Walking wounded go to green
    Hopefully, they only, have minor woes
    But 'til next triage who really knows
    The nearest patient looks in a doze
    They are not alert and it truly shows
    So red I chose
    Oh
    Let's move on
    Here we have one who is not breathing
    So let us manually open their airway
    If they start breathing it will make my day
    Red and away
    But if they didn't
    Start breathing, they earn black
    There's nothing to do
    If a pulse they lack
    Breathing under thirty
    Good skin signs, cap refill, under two seconds
    Has good mental status and alert replies
    He wants to get up, but too weak when tries
    Extra help is on the way I advise
    Yellow prize
    Oh
    Direct Pressure
    Re-positioning the Airway
    We may raise the Extremities
    And all of this is our expertise

    Thank you for this video. I have used it in my Community Nursing class for several years when talking about disaster management, to illustrate the basics of triage. It is memorable, and a fun way to learn.

    In an MCI scene, CPR is not attempted. If the responder opens the patient's airway and they do not start breathing on their own, they are a black tag.

    It was sent to me by a complainer... but I loved it! You didnt take yourselves seriously - it was all in fun! Good job - I will certainly use it in my EMT classes as well! I don't know how you got everyone to do it! That shows a close knit Department! Kudos from Central NJ where we do get enough MCI to not need a song but at least now we can hum as we do it! -Spanky

    @ICEMANof92 ,You are correct. If there is any doubt of trauma, a jaw thrust should be used. Let's just say this individual was in shock from seeing the horror of the MCI. ;)

  • @BlueJFilms
    @BlueJFilms  11 років тому

    On an MCI scene, CPR is not to be attempted. The only chance a patient gets is when the responder opens the patient's airway. If they do not start breathing on their own, they are a black tag. You only get 30 seconds with each victim and 30 seconds of CPR will not save her.

    should cpr be attempted before declaring a black tag?

    • @courtneyconnor6717
      @courtneyconnor6717 7 років тому +1

      no when you do triage you just tag patients based on resp below or above 30 if below 30 its yellow if below its red if not breathing after opened airway (we turn them over to open airway) they are tagged deceased because usually if they don't start breathing after they will die
