JumpSTART Pediatric Triage Algorithm
Key differences from adult START:
- Walking? → YES = MINOR (Green) - but needs secondary triage
- Breathing? → NO → Position airway → Give 5 rescue breaths if still not breathing
- Respiratory Rate < 15 or > 45? → YES = IMMEDIATE (Red)
- Palpable pulse? → NO = IMMEDIATE (Red)
- AVPU: Alert, Voice, Pain, Unresponsive → U or inappropriate = IMMEDIATE (Red)
Age Range: 1-8 years. Infants <1 year use different criteria.
