Uh, that's, uh, right. Order the system. Celexa patients, then with the highest priority. First, we like to make an eye assumptions about the diagnosis process of tree eyes there for us to you value it seriousness off each patient child presented an aside priority based on the initial assessment Um, the anti suges a reduction in pathology methodology, the signs and some things that differentiate between each level of priority or sandwich life threatening discriminators must be eliminated. Priority reducing the label of chemical priority on the less the the, uh, discriminators our life threat Just level hemorrhage temperature. Ian, get this. And these are all the factors of the extra minute between three patients. So that's just that Mr The Tree s way. We really don't. We would use your colors here on the numbers.

Take care of on the moment at first, you know before but actually put on shirts and well basted trained on the parents. You know what? We're going to do it. But what The observations and tear on clear, concise and progesterone. The parents on the change Unless that skeletons well, you're less It's among listen to you what? Their concerns are, um, on the and just select available information by observing example. And I'm taking a relevant test, right. We would observe bit the child off relevant walking on from triage or at the change in the your primary that just to be observing interact with the child you know, as a contract with the child and as a child on track with us as the change. Right now, let me let me about more gravy on it. On any signs of obvious anything's about this. You just a little one of the afternoon, the MDs and the Manchester triage system. Um, there's some disrupted the off the charge totally with on the MST, I'm to choose from one performance, three eyes, but there's a small number designed specifically for Children on. Well, the first one is the on where you born, which is up to 28 days. They only will be away, which is 28 days to 12 months, and then the only change. I'm just a little to the 16 years That's more of your sex, your family's So I don't know. I thought we stayed in. There's more chance you can be very small coma like we would be as last of there.

Overdosing poison. I'm sure there's a bad word. Parents. Most of these lung problem would be one of the most most form of a juice will be changed for them to change on most of these, you could find a gradual patients as well. I said the lung problems with being used more weight we should understand. Yeah, So I'm just going to touch briefly. All dries the sex chest. But Secretary don't know what's gonna be covered. Literally. Have a better a lot more. So just you're on on triage has just been aware of on and been aware of the change. Airway them the disk or a B, C, D or every as it obstructed a zone. The secretions is a foreign body. Straighter ways Just you've been aware. Yeah, for breathing. Um, changed much Breathed. Um, we're going to speed the stairs into respiratory looking for a spiritual person. A shin are excess ray muscle? Yes. On Androgel checking her early tree saturations circulation there as there.

Actually, we're always remembered to check Children. Yeah, to decide what we want. Their vehicle. Sainz I'm just I know that we went up on the tree iced room that I look at, I I don't do all this number. So we do have one on, um, on the triage room there. We can always lance that any concerns have it in their Children. Then just just briefly on the tree, I send them to change. Um, so we will be assessment assessment off the engine area again. Watch the child coming on for, you know, commitment really know. But we haven't got something like that. Just try to change. Welcome. And certainly, um, you know, higher. The whole themselves overcomes. All right, hold himself still on the way and see under the triage.

And, um, they have your severe pee and much would be asking score of 10 being tan the patient. But I said a score versus it's 10, and that would give him an orange cannery kind of a change moderate pee. And then it was a scale of 5 to 7, which would put them under category that the yellow category Cannabis Ray on that my PM recently in the brain That's one before on the sippy in school assessment that should be considered mystery cache may not be necessary After today.
