Randomized Trial Comparing Two Mass Casualty Triage Systems (JumpSTART versus SALT) in a Pediatric Simulated Mass Casualty Event

Abstract

SALT appears to be at least as good as JumpSTART in overall triage accuracy, overtriage, or undertriage rates in a simulated pediatric MCI. Both systems were considered easy to use. However, JumpSTART was 8 seconds faster per patient in time taken to assign triage designations.
