When a person is put in a triage situation after an accident there are 3 or 4 different catagories they put you in right? Are they acute, serious, critical and fatal? More specifically is there a condition higher than being in critical condition but not fatal? If so what is that condition called. Also if you know what order the conditions are from least serious to the most serious would you please list them?

In triage, there are three classifications: Those who will be okay without treatment, those who will die even with treatment, and those who can be saved but will die without treatment. Only the last group gets treated. The word "triage" even means "three," so there are not four classifications in triage.
"Critical" and "serious" refer to a person's condition at a hospital, not under triage. Those two terms are the only ones with clear meanings. Critical means that treatment is required within a critical period, while serious means that death is unlikely in the next 24 hours, but close monitoring and constant care is still required. The only thing worse that critical is, as was mentioned, "Dead on Arrival." "Stable" means that there are no major active medical issues, and vital signs are not fluctuating. A patient can be critical or serious, but also stable. A doctor may use other terms like "good" or "satisfactory," but these are generic terms used in their literal, dictionary sense by a doctor making a personal judgement.

it relatively is particularly complicated to tell what must be occurring with you from this record of indicators. you relatively ought to get right into a doctor and get blood artwork achieved. they could attempt for RA on an analogous time as they're doing that. I relatively have had JRA because of the fact i replaced into 2 and that i will make it easier to realize that on an analogous time because it ought to reason fatigue and joint discomfort and stiffness and it may progression particularly immediately, in case you haven't any longer have been given substantial swelling on your joints this is in all probability something else. I doubt your wellness care professional will write off all of those indicators so determine you get in ASAP

the only medical condition higher than critical is DOA, or "dead on arrival." in this case, adrenaline is pumped into the heart with a syringe, and then defribulation ("paddles") is used to restart the heart. hope this helps.

"Stage End" would be the only other one I could think of. As in stage end cancer
