dc.description.abstract | In disasters, multiple victims are involved that exceed the capacities and
resources of emergencies available to face the necessary help. As in other areas of
public health ethics, the allocation of resources and the rights and care of populations
in mass casualty incidents often triumph over the priority given by mainstream
bioethics to autonomy and individual rights and care. Triage is a series of standardized
methods that use calculation and rank ordering in medicine. Patients are quantitatively
represented by algorithmic and numerical triage systems, and some of them
even categorize the victims with scales and scores. In disaster triage, consequentialist
criteria consistent with this quantification of the bodies prevail that order to save
as many lives as possible while making the best use of available resources, which
often means to prioritize the patients who are more likely to survive. | spa |
