The Ten Second Triage Tool – a multi-disciplinary simulation-based field test to determine its speed, accuracy and practical on scene application

Key Points

Evaluate the speed, accuracy, and practical application of the Ten Second Triage Tool in emergency scenarios.
Conducted a multi-disciplinary simulation study
Assessed the TST for speed and accuracy in triage
Compared TST performance against existing physiological methods
TST enabled faster lifesaving interventions compared to traditional methods
Demonstrated high accuracy in early scene triage
Supported by NHS England endorsement for practical use

Abstract

This simulation study demonstrated that the TST is a rapid and accurate early scene triage method that enables the timely delivery of key lifesaving interventions. It facilitates the administration of these LSIs faster than existing physiological triage methods. These findings support the NHS England endorsement of the TST.
