The Diagnostic Evaluation of the SINEH Cardiopulmonary Triage Scale and the Emergency Severity Index in the Emergency Department: A Comparative Study

Figure 1

SINEH triage scale (SinTS) for patients with cardiopulmonary complaints (Ver.1). Details 1: unbearable chest pain: it is a chest pain that the patient cannot stand to perform a hs-cTnI due to the severity of the pain. High-risk cardiac profile: unstable angina, unstable angina (moderate to severe pain; prolonged and increasing; at rest), history of heart disease, diabetes. Mellitus, age >50 years, pacemaker, left ventricular ejection fraction <35%, dysrhythmia, critical changes in other vital signs. High-risk pulmonary profile: maximum expiratory flow (PEF) between 50% and 80%, history of lung disease, history of heart failure or liver disease, smoking, age >70 years, hospitalization history >4 times in the last year, CRP >10 mg/dl, leukopenia, use of secondary muscles of respiration, fever. PetCO₂: pressure of end-tidal CO₂, hs-cTnI: high sensitivity cardiac troponin I, and PEF: peak expiratory flow.
