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). level yellow (needing urgent treatment) was the most common triage category in patients admitted to the ED at a. They studied a general ED population and not only trauma. Furthermore, a new, simplified triage algorithm. The use of triage in Danish emergency departments. Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) is a prognostic and nonspecific biomarker associated with short-term mortality in emergency department (ED) patients. 3 DEPT is the most used triage system in Denmark and is similar to other modern triage system. The use of triage in Danish emergency departments. 000) admitted to the ED in two large acute hospitals. Over the last 20 years, triage systems have been standardised in a number of countries and. 000) admitted to the ED in two large acute hospitals. BP, HR,. All patients triaged with one chief complaint using the Danish Emergency Process Triage system were included. 1. The vitals measured at admission assigns the patient to a triage category, and based upon the clinical appearance of the patients, the triage nurse can adjust the assigned triage category to better reflect the patient. The severity score is assessed by measuring the patients´ vital parameters (e. The models have then beenThese Swedish triage scales spread to adjacent countries; a modified Danish version of ADAPT, Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) [12], and METTS in Norway [13]. Systemet inddrager i højere grad end tidligere sygeplejerskers kliniske vurdering, som i kombination med en algoritme, der tager udgangspunkt i patientens vitalparametre, er grundlaget for den rækkefølge. RETTS-A was not developed to be utilised as a sys-The investigators has developed a novel evidence-based triage algorithm with integrated individual clinical assesment. 27 The main complaint is registered before any diagnostic proceedings are performed. The formation and design of the TRIAGE study--baseline data on 6005 consecutive patients admitted to hospital from the emergency department. Most emergency departments (ED) use risk scoring systems to perform triage, [1, 2] and widely used conventional triage algorithms are 5-level scales relying on measurements of vital signs and the presenting complaint [1, 2]. Trained nurses perform triage before beginning diagnostics and before the patient is seen by a physician. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. 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 short-term mortality. See moreThe 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. Patients with minor injuries were excluded. 12, 13 Based on presenting complaints and vital signs, DEPT categorizes the patient into five degrees: red (life-threatening); orange (critical); yellow (stable but potentially unstable); green (stable); and blue (unaffected). HAPT is inspired by the Swedish Adaptive Process Triage model, ADAPT , and has subsequently evolved into the 'Danish Emergency Process Triage' , which is currently under implementation at several hospitals across the country. A multi-centre cohort study | Introduction: In the Region of Southern Denmark, the emergency departments categorise patients based on presenting symptoms and a proposed diagnostic package (n = 40. Most ED's use a slightly modified version of ADAPT called Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) [11] [12] [13][14]. All respondents felt. In brief, the CTA trial was a cluster-randomised, controlled trial comparing the new evidence-based triage algorithm CTA to the Adaptive Process Triage (ADAPT) in two large EDs in the Capital Region of Copenhagen. In the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT), which has been implemented in most Danish EDs [9], patient-reported pain is validated by a nurse to ensure that it is neither over nor underreported. We found that triage was used at 75% (n = 15) of the EDs; among these only 53% (n = 8/15) triaged all patients. 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]. For details on the DEPT triage system see Additional file 1. Objective To compare the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) with a quick clinical assessment (Eyeball triage) as predictors of short-term mortality in patients in the emergency department (ED). cess Triage (ADAPT) and the Medical Emergency Triage and Treatment System (METTS) [11]. 16 They reported that what they referred to as ‘eyeball triage’, that is, clinicians’ triage decisions in our study, was superior to formalised triage using the Danish Emergency Process Triage. Patients with minor injuries were excluded. Patients were evaluated primarily by a specialised nurse, and the ED practised a five-level Danish Emergency Process Triage based on complaints and vital values. Five-level triage systems are being utilized in Danish emergency departments with and without the use of presenting symptoms. Currently there are no national recommendations regarding triage models for use in the emergency department (ED). About Europe PMC; Preprints in Europe PMCThe 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. , RETTS and the Danish Emergency Process Triage), which prioritize patients with ongoing pain higher than those with abated pain (6, 7). DEPT (Danish Emergency Process) Triage: Each patien t is assigned a triage leve l for each of the two main descriptors: 1) Vital signs and 2) presenting complaint. g. 4%). Regarding patient’s safety this process however has to be seen critically as > 60% of these cases were potentially undertriaged. The five-level Danish triage manual resembles the Manchester triage manual (19,20). In most emergency departments (ED) around the world, patients are initially assessed using a triage system or risk stratification tools. 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). The triage algorithms are also developed to identify patients at low risk, who safely can be assigned to the waiting room. This was a substudy of patients included in the Copenhagen Triage Algorithm (CTA) trial, which was described elsewhere [2, 6]. In 2011 HAPT was customized for local conditions and named Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) . poster at the Danish Emergency Medicine Conference, Odense, Denmark, 20-21 November. We thus wanted to investigate if Danish EDs are using triage systems and, if so, which systems they are using. Auch hier werden die Patienten durch Pflegekräfte in 5 farbkodierte Kategorien eingeordnet, indem 2 Hauptdeskriptoren verwendet werden: Vitalparameter und. 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. While the participants were hospitalized, they were triaged as part of the medical procedures by the Danish Emergency Process Triage to determine treatment urgency (Nordberg et al. Most ED’s use a slightly modified ver-sion of ADAPT called Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) [11–14]. Only some patients are acutely seriously ill, and a few of these show only discrete signs and symptoms of their condition. The use of triage in Danish emergency departments. 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. Adaptive process triage (ADAPT) was the most frequently used validated triage system (25% (n = 5)), while 40%. , 2018. All emergency departments in Central Denmark Region use the tool Danish Emergency Process Triage system (DEPT). 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), Orange, YellowPatients are initially evaluated by specialised nurses, and the ED uses a five-level adaptive process triage based on complaints and vital signs [20,21]. It is based on triage using vital signs. 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. treatment, cardiac arrest, stroke, admission to intensive care, hospital. g.

In addition to emergency calls, other medical services are available for less. Triage systems were used in 75% of Danish EDs. 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. Search for terms In the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) pain is used as an independent contributor for triaging patients and is validated by the Numerical Pain Rating scale, NRS-11. The aim is to identify patient at risk of deterioration or death and/or with a imminent need of treatment. Patients arriving at the ED are triaged using the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) system, which is based on chief complaint-specific parameters and vital parameters (see online supplemental figure 1 for an overview of the DEPT system process). Furthermore, a new, simplified triage algorithm has been. formalised triage in 2009 and since 2011 Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT)3 has been the triage standard. Objective To compare the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) with a quick clinical assessment (Eyeball triage) as predictors of short-term mortality in patients. Necessary resources for diagnostics and treatment have to be available in the doctors’ offices and known to prehospital emergency services. This study was part of a prospective cohort study carried out at Hillerød University Hospital (TRIAGE-study). Method. Public health-care services in Denmark are free for the entire population due to the omnipresent tax-funded welfare system, including well-established primary care, public pre-hospital. Odense, Denmark. 23 The highest triage level is received care in trauma room and not expected to be discharged within 24 hours. This study was designed as a single-centre, non-inferiority, open-label, randomized controlled trial. All patients triaged with one chief complaint using the Danish Emergency Process Triage system were included. When do you expect to come to the ED?”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. 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),. Patients with minor injuries were excluded. Systematic process triage is a relatively unknown concept in Denmark. Triage systems aim, not only to ensure clinical justice for the patient, but also to provide an effective tool for departmental organisation, monitoring and evaluation. During the trajectory of the.

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 . In Denmark triage has been broadly implemented over the last decade [11]. N2 - Objective To compare the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) with a quick clinical assessment (Eyeball triage) as predictors of short-term mortality in patients in the emergency department (ED). Adaptive process triage (ADAPT) was the most frequently used validated triage system (25% (n = 5)), while 40%. , 2010). We include patients ≥16 years (n=50. 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 []. RESULTS. In addition, the same nurse registered the patient. In 70. 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 signs and presenting symptoms and a locally adapted version of. The nurses used an established algorithm known as the Danish Emergency Process Triage, or DEPT for short, to decide which patients were the sickest; the phlebotomists and medical students made. 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. Triage systems are essential in a modern emergency department (ED). Statistics. In short, DEPT is a five-level triage system based on vital signs and one (or two) symptom-based cards (e. Adaptive process triage (ADAPT) was the most frequently used validated triage system (25% (n = 5)), while 40% (n = 8) used non-validated. 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). An improvement in the quality of health care in Danish EDs may possibly be achieved by implementing validated triage, i. Danish health. Four medium-sized EDs from different regions across the country cooperated in a joint venture to develop a new triage model, Danish Emergency. 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. 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 signs and presenting symptoms and a locally adapted version of DEPT (VITAL-TRIAGE) using vital signs only. The aim of this study was to measure the inter-observer variability when assessing patients using the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) (using only vital signs), the Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS), the HOTEL score, the Simple Clinical Score (SCS) and PARIS score. Triage and triage related work has been performed in Swedish Emergency Departments (EDs) since the mid-1990s. To improve trauma care, comprehensive knowledge of the epidemiology of TCA, patient demographics, treatment, and outcomes is essential. Adaptive process triage (ADAPT) was the most frequently used validated triage system (25% (n = 5)), while 40% (n = 8) used non-validated systems. Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) har til formål at sikre en standardiseret og.

Most respondents received simulation training (82. 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. 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. TRIAGE III is an interventional trial in Den-mark where suPAR is used to improve DEPT (Danish Emergency Process Triage) used by the ED physicians. Patients arriving at the ED are triaged using the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) system, which is based on chief complaint-specific parameters and vital parameters (see online supplemental figure 1 for an overview of the DEPT system process). number of nurses on duty according to the duty roster and number of available beds). The RETTS-HEV is a five-scale triage system being used in the ED of Herning, Denmark, since May 2010. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort using data from ve Danish emergency departments. Most respondents received simulation training (82. Most triage models have been developed on the basis of expert opinion and they are not based on data from large prospective cohorts [15]. 6% of the EDs, trigger calls for MEP were activated > 300 times annually. 18-19 April 2013. Different scales and algorithms are used in triage, so it is essential to clearly communicate the acuity categories assigned to patients. Most ED’s use a slightly modified ver-sion of ADAPT called Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) [11–14]. 12, 13 Based on presenting complaints and vital signs, DEPT categorizes the patient into five degrees: red (life-threatening); orange (critical); yellow (stable but potentially unstable); green (stable); and blue (unaffected).
