Triage typically involves three primary levels:

  1. Immediate (Red): Patients requiring immediate life-saving interventions.
  2. Delayed (Yellow): Patients who need care but can wait for a short period without significant risk to life or limb.
  3. Minor (Green): Patients with minor injuries who can wait for treatment, often referred to as "walking wounded."

In some systems, there may also be a fourth category for deceased patients (Black), indicating no chance of survival.

Triage is a system of grading the seriousness of a situation. It often as 5 levels. Level 1 often involves things that are almost too little to deal with (such as a stuffy nose and a cough). Level 5 often involves what is too difficult to treat (like someone dying of late stage cancer). So normally, you'd want to prioritize the higher levels except for the highest.
