Objective To compare the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) with a quick clinical assessment (Eyeball triage) as predictors of short-term mortality in patients in the emergency department (ED). All EDs used red triage (Danish Emergency Process Triage) as activation criteria for MEP calls. Most ED's use a slightly modified version of ADAPT called Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) [11] [12] [13][14]. Methods The Copenhagen Triage Algorithm (CTA) study is a prospective two-center, cluster-randomized, cross-over, non-inferiority trial comparing CTA to the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT). Methods The investigation was designed as a prospective cohort study conducted at North Zealand University Hospital. The chief complaint assigned by the triaging nurse was used as exposure, and 30-dayTherefore, we gathered in-depth knowledge of Danish emergency department nurses' experiences caring for patients who self-harm and obtained their suggestions on future nursing practices. Each patient is provided a triage level on arrival which is estimated based on vital parameters such as saturation, blood pressure, pulse, temperature and alertness and indicates the urgency of the condition. Baseline characteristics and comorbidity of Emergency Department patients in relation to Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT). Another study found that DSR from phlebotomists can outperform the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) in predicting mortality . And his temperature is as high as 38,5°C. In 2011 HAPT was customized for local conditions and named Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) . Dept - Danish Emergency Process Triage. All patients triaged with one chief complaint using the Danish Emergency Process Triage system were included. These Swedish triage scales spread to adjacent countries; a modified Danish version of ADAPT, Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) [12], and METTS in Norway [13]. Kasper Karmark Iversen.
