# Triage

Triage is the process of prioritising patients based on the severity of their conditions to ensure that those who need urgent care receive it first.

**What is Triage?**

## Triage Steps

1. Assess Breathing, Circulation, and Consciousness: Check if the person is breathing, has a pulse, and is responsive.
2. Assign Priority: Categorise the urgency of each person’s condition.
3. Provide Initial Care: Administer life-saving interventions as needed.
