What kind of injuries are included in the green tag category?

The green tag category in triage systems is designated for patients who have sustained injuries that are not life-threatening and can wait for treatment. This classification is used to prioritize medical attention in situations with multiple casualties. Minor fractures and soft tissue injuries fit this description perfectly, as they require care but do not pose an immediate risk to life or limb. Patients tagged with green can often walk, talk, and are likely stable, allowing medical responders to focus on those with more severe injuries.

In contrast, the other options describe injuries that are more urgent and would warrant a different tag. Critical life-threatening injuries, severe burns, respiratory issues, and uncontrolled bleeding typically require immediate attention and are classified under red or yellow tags, indicating that those patients need more urgent medical intervention. This system ensures that resources are allocated efficiently during emergencies, allowing for the best possible outcomes for all individuals involved.
