The common triage techniques are summarized as triage formulas in clinical practice. Since the formulas are easy to remember and practical, they are more commonly used.

SOPA formula: is the abbreviation of the first letter of four English words.

S (subjective): Collect patient's subjective feeling data, including the main complaint and accompanying symptoms.

O (objective): Collect objective data of patients, including physical signs and abnormal signs.

A (asses s , estimation): Comprehensive analysis of the collected data to obtain a preliminary judgment.

P (plan, plan): According to the results of the judgment, a specialist triage is performed, and the visits are arranged in a planned manner according to light, serious, slow, and urgent.

CRAMS score is that the smaller the total score, the more serious the injury.

C (Circulation): Capillary filling is normal and systolic pressure> 100mmHg is 2 points, capillary filling delay and systolic pressure 85-99mmHg is 1 point, capillary filling disappears and systolic pressure <85mmHg is 0 points;

R (respiration): Normally 2 points, rapid, shallow or breathing frequency> 35 times / minute 1 point, no spontaneous breathing is 0;

A (Abdomen, abdominal chest): 2 points for no tenderness, 1 point for tenderness, 0 point for muscle tension, flail chest, or penetrating injury;

M (Motor, exercise): 2 points for free exercise, 1 point for response to pain, 0 point for no response or inability to move;
