Several triage systems are specifically designed for pediatric care, including:
1. Emergency Severity Index (ESI): This five-level triage system classifies patients based on the severity of their conditions and resource needs. 2. Pediatric Assessment Triangle (PAT): A rapid assessment tool that evaluates three elements: appearance, work of breathing, and circulation to the skin. 3. Manchester Triage System (MTS): Utilizes flowcharts to categorize patients into one of five urgency levels.
