摘要
During a multiple casualty chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear incident it is imperative that triage is accurately undertaken to use resources effectively and give the greatest chance of survival to those who need it. This reflection explores an option to assist in this matter by proposing a colorimetric breathing detection system, while remembering that this it is untested, may be a useful aid.
