MCI Triage Song

- 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
Such a great video all of my Jr. Guards loved it. Evan, Andy, corben and Quinn loved it!!!!!!!!!!
and they still do!!! especially even
what a banger of a song Jaydens favorite
SOOOOO fire!!! A-Aron loved it!!
Beep beep
Gemma and Anisa LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!!!
I use this video for my EMT and EMR classes. Its fun and cheesy. Thank you.
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.
VERY WELL DONE Im an EMT in Dublin Ireland love the clip
Just seen This. This is 🔥
Uptown girl !!! My fave song !! Plus great video guys really awesome!!

Great, now I'll never sing Uptown Girl properly again... Thank you for the laugh!

Good job guys.... Keep it up.
we just watched this in my EMT class and everyone rofl'd. Great jerb...
EXCELENTE!!! MUY DINÁMICO Y CLARO EN CONCEPTOS. GRACIAS!!!
LOS FELICITO!
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
Thank you so much for this video.
What a fun way to make training fun! Great job.
Awesome Training Video!!
These are such great videos. You are extremely creative and I hope you expand your video collection. I am going to use them in future EMT classes I teach here in NYS.
Love this its pretty much the same as in Germany with the Triage^^ greetings from a german red cross medic :)
Good job! Using this for TRIAGE Refresher class tonight and again! Thanks!
Great job!! Almost makes disaster medicine fun. I'll be forwarding this one along.
Just saw this the other night in my EMR training course. Great reminder! :D
Stupidly AWESOME !!!!
What a great job!
great job, I will be using this when I teach West County CERT in Orange County CA!
I love this for my CERT classes. It's silly but covers the stuff I teach in a great way to summarize. Thank you
loved the video!!!
I love your video! Maybe your interested in watching a video about the Swiss way of triage. You can find it here:
Dobu & Trex - The great song of triage.

Our brand new CERT team (Washington Township, Morris County) loves this video.
I was looking for music and wow that certainly was music. Not at all what I expected
Thanks for clearing this up. Really helped Great video...
Wow, that was really good
Great Video!!!!
This has no business being this much of a bop.
@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. ;)
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.
I love this video
Does your agency carry narcs??? j/k, good review, Thanks!
Amazing
You guys have way to much time on your hands...... LOL Good one!
Guys this is truly amazing lol!
normally no. but i think it depends on the resources available at the time.
Nice!
should cpr be attempted before declaring a black tag?
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
👏
wow that was uh.... wow....
OMG! I think I just busted a kindney or some hollow organ from laughing. This is stuff my buds and I would probably do.
Im no expert, but I want to say the kidney* is considerd a solid organ
watched this video at cert contunied education in boca raton
Nice :D like the others ^^
When 8 firefighters and EMTs look at each other and is like “ why not we make a MCI song? And post it on UA-cam?!” It’s like Why?
3 people got a black tag
This is what happens when you get bored on shift
tragic
