Exam Preparation Tip

Emergency and triage questions test your ability to prioritize. Always think: Who is most at risk of dying? In MCI, think: Who can I save with limited resources?

Key Emergency Concepts

  • START Triage: Walking → GREEN. Then assess: Breathing → Perfusion → Mental Status
  • RED criteria: RR >30, no radial pulse, or doesn't follow commands
  • Primary Survey: ABCDE (Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Disability, Exposure)
  • Anaphylaxis: Epinephrine 1:1000 IM (NOT IV) - lateral thigh
  • Organophosphate: SLUDGE symptoms → Atropine + Pralidoxime
