THE CANADIAN TRIAGE AND ACUITY SCALE
THE CANADIAN TRIAGE AND ACUITY SCALE . Combined Adult/Paediatric Educational Program PARTICIPANT'S MANUAL. TRIAGE Training Resources JANUARY 2007. Revised November 2008. Revised April 2012. Version , 2012. Version , November 2013. FOREWARD. Introduction Since five-level TRIAGE was implemented in 1999, the experience gathered both nationally and internationally using CTAS has continued to grow, a body of research has been developed, the CTAS guidelines have been revised, emergency departments have become busier, and the accuracy and reliability of CTAS level assignment is important as CTAS is a good predictor of resource needs. For these reasons, updated training material for new and experienced TRIAGE nurses is required. The goal of CTAS is to support and appropriately assign ACUITY scores that are valid across the broad scope of emergency department presentations ranging from major to minor trauma, cardiovascular complaints, mental health problems, eye pain, obstetrical emergencies, diffuse paediatric presentations and beyond.
