[Triage in first-aid: is it necessary or indispensable?].

The priorities of a modern emergency care unit with more than 20,000 patients/year are analysed underlining that only a professional organization can offset the increasing demand of the population. The importance of a pre-evaluation of the patients in a triage unit to privilege the real emergency cases is underlined. These emergency units also need an information network in a real-time contact with the nearby sanitary structures and the Operative Center. This for a faster hospitalization of the patients who need it. The opportunity to improve the contacts between the family doctor and the Hospital to a better use of the Sanitary System is stressed.

The authors remark the best way to face blunt abdominal trauma. Only the coordination among all the emergency care team involved can solve the problems.
