The Copenhagen Triage Algorithm (CTA) aims to be a faster and better way to identify acutely ill patients as well as the less urgent patients in the ED. Simply “eyeballing” the patient has been reported to triage more efficiently than the formal procedures of the Danish triage system that uses a complex algorithm based on the primary complaint and a full set of vital signs. DEPT is a five-step triage system that prioritizes patients according to the degree of life or truancy threat and thereby is indicative of how fast they are to be seen by a physician.

Methods The investigation was designed as a prospective cohort study conducted at North Zealand University Hospital. EWSs (National Early Warning Score 2 [NEWS2], modified NEWS score without temperature [mNEWS], Quick Sepsis Related Organ Failure Assessment [qSOFA], Rapid Emergency Triage and Treatment System [RETTS], and Danish Emergency Process Triage [DEPT]) were calculated using first vital signs measured by ambulance personnel. About Europe PMC; Preprints in Europe PMCTRIAGE III is an interventional trial in Denmark where suPAR is used to improve DEPT (Danish Emergency Process Triage) used by the ED physicians. The aim of this study was to validate and compare two 5-level triage systems used in Danish emergency departments: “Danish Emergency Process Triage” (DEPT) based on a combination of vital. EWSs (National Early Warning Score 2 [NEWS2], modified NEWS score without temperature [mNEWS], Quick Sepsis Related Organ Failure Assessment [qSOFA], Rapid Emergency Triage and Treatment System [RETTS], and Danish Emergency Process Triage [DEPT]) were calculated using first vital signs measured by ambulance personnel. Most EDs had a trigger call for MEP (89. Ranges of vital signs for paediatric patients are identical in the two triage systems, and the triage score is represented by colours: green for ‘not urgent’, yellow for ‘less. In our patients, perhaps surprisingly, ongoing pain was thus a marker for better prognosis. A severity of disease classification system for use in intensive care units; AUC: Area Under the Curve; DEPT: Danish emergency process triage. Within the last ten years, the. Validation of systematic triage is sparse and in this study we compared the systematic triage tool Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) with a quick clinical assessment by inexperienced hospital staff as markers of. The chief complaint assigned by the. compared the accuracy of triage decisions by nurses who adhered to the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) scale with a non-systematic ‘eyeball triage’ performed by phlebotomists and medical students working as phlebotomists from the Department of Clinical Biochemistry. Danish Emergency Process Triage to determine treat-ment urgency (Nordberg et al. In addition, the same nurse registered the patient. DEPT consists of a combined assessment of vital signs and symptoms and classifies patients into categories: Red (highest risk of death the next 7 days),. Methods The Copenhagen Triage Algorithm (CTA) study is a prospective two-center, cluster-randomized, cross-over, non-inferiority trial comparing CTA to the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT). This is in contrast to the guidelines in some ED triage systems (e. Each patient is assigned a triage levelThe objective of this study was to compare two such triage systems for assessing vital parameters - a single-parameter system, T-vital, as used in Danish Emergency Process Triage, and a multiple. Table 1 shows the five-level Danish Emergency Proces Triage (DEPT) used in the ED, patients are categorised into five triage levels based on vital signs and a presenting complaint algorithm . All patient visits to the ED. The objectives were as follows: (a) What is the agreement of triage between prehospital providers and ED nurses, when using Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) correctly? (b) Which part of the triage process yields the highest agreement regarding the final triage?METHODS: The study was a prospective and observational efficacy study. TABLE 1 Schematic depiction of specialty categorization by teams and Danish Emergency Process Triage. We include patients ≥16 years (n = 50. Methods The investigation was designed as a prospective cohort study conducted at North Zealand University Hospital. BP, HR,. 18-19 April 2013. Systematic process triage is a relatively unknown concept in Denmark. b The severity score is made according to the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) criteria used for patients with acute illness. A Danish ED is equivalent to an acute. Four hospitals (23. Kasper Karmark Iversen. Efficient triage should not only identify those patients that require urgent care, but also as many patients as possible who do not require it and who can be safely managed later or electively. DEPT - Distortionless Enhancement By Polarization Transfer. Patients with minor injuries were excluded. INTRODUCTION The emergency departments (EDs) handle approximately 1,000,000 contacts annually. Overall, the 30-day mortality was 4. " Der findes andre systemer til triagering : ATS – Australasian Triage Scale, risikofaktorer; CATS – Canadian, vitalparametre og symptoner The use of triage. However, ADAPT have been triage standard in a modified version called Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) in Denmark since 2011 . Studies of the Danish emergency process triage (DEPT), the Canadian triage and acuity scale (CTAS), and the emergency severity index (ESI) have reported only moderate agreement between EMS clinicians and ED nurses when utilising identical triage systems [13– 15]. Methods The investigation was designed as a prospective cohort study conducted at North Zealand University Hospital. The interviews were preceded by observations of theThe ED used Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) for triaging patients on a five-p oint ordinal scale (1 – 5, 1, i. Der findes intet etableret triage-system, som i sig selv samtidig opfylder kvalitetsstandarderne og funktionalitetskravene i DDKM samt de videnskabelige selskabers forskellige behandlingsrekommandationer [15]. Danish Emergency Process Triage based on complaints and vital values. In the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT), which has been implemented in most Danish EDs , patient-reported pain is validated by a nurse to ensure that it is neither over nor underreported, resulting in a patient receiving a higher triage priority than warranted or, alternatively, that a patient might be overlooked in the ED. e. The ED used Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) for triaging patients on a five-point ordinal scale (1–5, 1, i. , RETTS and the Danish Emergency Process Triage), which prioritize patients with ongoing pain higher than those with abated pain (6, 7). The use of triage in Danish emergency departments. In the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT), which has been implemented in most Danish EDs , patient-reported pain is validated by a nurse to ensure that it is neither over nor underreported, resulting in a patient receiving a higher triage priority than warranted or, alternatively, that a patient might be overlooked in the ED. Currently there are no national recommendations regarding triage models for use in the emergency department (ED). In Denmark triage has been broadly implemented over the last decade [11]. Study record managers: refer to the Data Element Definitions if submitting registration or results information. Each patient is provided a triage level on arrival which is estimated based on vital parameters such as saturation, blood pressure, pulse, temperature and alertness and indicates the urgency of the condition. RETTS-A was not developed to be utilised as a system assessing. A version of RETTS©, called Rapid Emergency Triage and Treatment System – Hospital Unit West (RETTS-HEV) has also been applied and studied [21, 22]. Most ED’s use a slightly modified ver-sion of ADAPT called Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) [11–14]. The chief complaint assigned by the triaging nurse was used as exposure, and 30-dayTriage is the process of quickly assessing and prioritising patients according to urgency and need for treatment []. For details on the DEPT triage system see Additional file 1 . In Sweden, METTS subsequently became the Rapid Emergency Triage and Treatment System (RETTS©) [ 14 ], as well as in Norway [ 15 ]. Studies of the Danish emergency process triage (DEPT), the Canadian triage and acuity scale (CTAS), and the emergency severity index (ESI) have reported only moderate agreement between EMS clinicians and ED nurses when utilising identical triage systems [13– 15]. Således sikres det, at patienter med størst behov bliver behandlet først.
