What injuries would typically be designated a black tag in triage?

In triage, a black tag is designated for patients who are either deceased or have injuries that are deemed non-survivable at the time of assessment. This classification helps emergency responders prioritize care and resources during a mass casualty incident. By tagging patients with a black label, responders can quickly identify those who require no further medical intervention and focus their efforts on individuals who have a chance for recovery.

In a crisis where resources are limited, this process ensures that those most likely to benefit from immediate care receive it, while acknowledging the severity of injuries classified as non-survivable. This system is critical for effective management of medical resources in high-stress situations.
