Yes, those are two special cases where respiratory statues would not map well to expected outcomes. As far as I know, there was no capsize or mass opioid overdose involved... I'm not sure where your understanding of triage comes from, but you're mistaken if you think respiratory status isn't the primary determining factor in black/expectant classification (in the US, there may be differences in other international systems I'm not aware of). The vast majority of triage in US is done using the START system (or START-derived systems, like SALT). Here is a graphical depiction of the START classification algorithm: http://citmt.org/Start/images/flowchart2.jpg |
