摘要
The hospitals of the International Committee of the Red Cross are often faced with situations in which the number of war wounded requiring surgical attention overwhelms the available facilities. Hospital organization, equipment and changes of attitude necessary for health professionals are considered with respect to triage. Practical aspects of assessment and categorization of the wounded are considered in the light of a large experience; relocation and reassessment of those who do not warrant immediate surgery benefit patients and hospital staff alike. The importance of adherence to an emergency plan and respect for the decisions of the person in charge of the triage are emphasized. The difficult and stressful nature of triage of war wounded should always be taken into account.
