TRIAGE COURSE 26TH FEB - 28TH FEB 2008

ok... we started triage course for 3 days, first am a bit anxious about what and how triage course is handled. we gone through introduction and run almost all the emergency cases via the body systems. i really had no idea and i was not prepared what it would be like to be in the course. stress, tension, anxiety .. all presented during the first day what will happen in the next 2 days?! damn am not feeling good this week... i just want it done ASAP.

anyway, first review of day 1.... always remember what to ask during triaging patients in AnE or outpatient clinics, whether to be put in P1 or P2 or P3. we were taught the first is to ask the general condition of the patient. u have answers if u ask for more questions, though i thought some question that we ask sometimes are just not included in the assessment given by the instructor, so probably they just compromise or they would say 'it did not stated ...' know what i mean ?

from asking the GC of the pt, we move to a SOAPE - a procedure that lead us just like any other forms of procedures - writing assignment has it own system as well right? Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan and Evaluation which stands for the SOAPE.

its a very interesting day for the first since we usually and commonly do triage all the way during work time. but somehow we never use this approach. all of us were having hard times coping with the approach. its not easy as it may look. but to do this u have to love it!!! whatever its circumstances maybe.


well by now am loving it!!!! hmm what will happen next?
