Triage System Identification The Emergency Severity Index (ESI) is a triage system that allows for sorting patients according to the severity of their states and evaluating the necessary resources. Level 1 implies that a nurse should assess whether a patient needs life-saving interventions or not. If yes, the nurse refers the patient to the corresponding unit and procedure, including hemodynamics, electrical therapy, breathing, et cetera (Hong et al., 2015). If level 1 is marked by “no”, the nurse proceeds with patient evaluation, focusing on the risks, resources needed, and the overall, urgency of the situation. Considering the threat of terrorist attacks and explosions, the hospital should be prepared for severe burns, suffocation from smoke, and other related issues. Children are at a high risk of dehydration, skin contamination, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress (Council & Committee on Pediatric Emergency Medicine, 2015). Accordingly, to set level 1 triage, the nurse should observe the patient’s body and pay attention to clinical signs of breathing and consciousness. Level 2 refers to the case when a patient does not have life-sustaining procedures at the time of sorting. However, if he or she is in a high-risk situation, disoriented, or experiences panic, his state is to be identified as level 2. If the danger zone vitals, such as saturation, pulse, and respiratory rate, are normal, the patient is assigned level 3 triage (Hong et al., 2015). Depending on the resources needed, the patient is given levels 4 and 5, respectively. Thus, the main benefit of this system is a structured and quick assessment based on meaningful clinical vitals, which allows for sorting out the flow of patients in an emergency. Additional Precautions Since the flow of patients is expected to be high, it is critical to prepare resources that can be used to rapidly help them. In particular, first aid for wound care and initial treatment resources are to be prepared in advance, which can involve cleansing agents, intubation, dressing, grafting, and medications. Among the relevant resources for non-life-saving processes, there should be diagnostic tests, oxygen administration, medications, and so on (Council & Committee on Pediatric Emergency Medicine, 2015). The hospital’s staff should be reminded of burn trauma management and protocols of action. With sufficient resources in the hospital, it would be more effective to address patients’ health needs and achieve greater coordination between care providers. Another area of additional precautions is related to the workforce that would be directly involved in the emergency care process. First, one or two triage clinicians should be chosen to be responsible for sorting the patients, and it is preferable to assign this role to experienced staff members. Second, professionals who would provide first aid care are given certain areas of responsibility, including but not limited to wound management, resuscitation, and so on. Third, the hospital needs more nurses to ensure that all the patients receive the necessary procedures on time. Since the case implies mass casualties, it is critical to have qualified and educated staff. Agencies Involved The agencies to be involved are law enforcement agencies, both local and state ones, which is important for having minimal losses. T
