Résumé

Natural or man-made medical disasters have repeatedly affected human communities. The impact on health care resources may vary depending on the magnitude of each crisis, catastrophe or pandemic, and the resources available. Medical triage protocols serve as invaluable tools to address clinical needs, particularly when resources, including supplies, equipment, and personnel, are limited. Although resources should be allocated to maximize the benefit, resource allocations need to be ethically sound. Existing triage protocols have inherent limitations.
