Objectives: Little is known about the effect of pain on the relationship between triage and patient outcomes in United States emergency departments (ED). In this study we aimed to describe pain-associated ED visits and to explore how pain modifies the ability of ED triage to predict patient outcomes (hospitalization and ED length of stay [EDLOS)].
Methods: We obtained data from the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS), 2010-2021.

: Accurate and timely triage is essential for optimizing clinical outcomes and resource allocation in emergency departments (EDs). The Peripheral Perfusion Index (PPI), a non-invasive and objective parameter derived from pulse oximetry, may offer added value in early risk stratification. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between the PPI measured at triage and at Emergency Severity Index (ESI) levels, as well as to determine if the PPI may function as a predictive tool to facilitate early risk identification before patient disposition.

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a clinical condition frequently encountered in the emergency department (ED), with a high and early mortality rate. ED triage determines the priority of further evaluation of care at the time of patient arrival. Very little is known about the specific role of ED triage in PE.

Introduction: The triage system aims to determine the level of urgency of patients in order to provide appropriate care and reduce morbidity and mortality. It is essential that the system used is valid, reliable and easy to use. The TRIPED-GM system is a five-level classification system exclusively for pediatric age, which includes six steps, three of which are mandatory (PAT, guiding sign/symptom, and priority rectifiers).

Triage in emergency departments (EDs) is a dynamic decision-making process to prioritize patients based on their medical care needs. The Emergency Severity Index (ESI) is a simple-to-use, five-level triage system that categorizes ED patients according to clinical urgency. The triage nurse's ability to obtain a brief history and rapidly assess clinical urgency is crucial for ensuring safe and efficient emergency care.
