Ep. 138 Deep Dive Under and Over Triage Field Triage Guidelines

The Field Triage Guidelines (FTG) are used across North America to identify seriously injured patients for transport to appropriate-level trauma centers.  We should aim for an under-triage rate of 5% and an over-triage rate of 25-35%.  But how faithful are we to these recommendations?
