greatest benefit to the largest number. The categories are: MINIMAL—those who require limited
treatment and can be returned to duty; IMMEDIATE—patients requiring immediate care to save life
or limb; DELAYED—patients who, after emergency treatment, incur little additional risk by delay or
further treatment; and EXPECTANT—patients so critically injured that only complicated and pro-
longed treatment will improve life expectancy.
