Résumé
The triage system an emergency department must prioritize the patients' needs above all else. Additionally, it enables improved care organization based on client type, institutional mission, and available resources. In order to conduct effective triage, the Orientation and Reception Nurse (ORN) should employ a reliable, valid, and reproducible tool that considers the specificities of both pediatric and adult patients in prehospital medicine, as well as the national healthcare. The aim is to assess the validity and reliability of existing triage systems in emergency care, with the ultimate objective of developing an emergency triage system tailored to Burkina. To achieve this, our focus will be on identifying reliable and valid triage systems, which will serve as a basis for proposing or adapting a suitable triage system for Burkina Faso.
