About the content
Timely, effective triage is critical during pediatric mass casualty incidents. In this interactive simulation, you’ll assist an EMS team at a school disaster scene, using the SALT triage system to assess injured children, assign triage tags, and make key decisions about ambulance transport and hospital destinations. Enroll in this hands-on simulation to strengthen your triage skills, apply the SALT system, and practice making critical transport decisions in a pediatric disaster scenario.
What You Will Learn
- Apply the SALT triage system to a pediatric mass casualty scenario
- Make informed decisions on ambulance utilization and hospital destinations
- Understand how regional hospital capabilities impact triage and transport decisions
- Strengthen your readiness to respond effectively to large-scale pediatric emergencies
