Study Notes

Treatment Sector Responsibilities

Determine if patient treatment will occur “in place” or in a specific treatment area, coordinating with Triage and Extrication Sectors.
Identify needed resources for effective treatment operations.
Set up a large treatment area; if the incident is significant, create separate “Immediate” and “Delayed” treatment zones.
Assign and oversee treatment teams to ensure efficient patient care.
Ensure every patient is triaged, assessed, and re-triaged as necessary.
Implement aggressive treatment and rapid patient packaging for efficient transport.
Provide regular progress updates to Command regarding patient status.
Maintain safety and accountability for all patients and assigned personnel.
Confirm transportation priorities in collaboration with the Transportation Sector.
Facilitate coordination between various operational sectors during an incident.
Inform Command when all patients have been evacuated from the treatment area.
Treatment Sector officers will wear identifiable sector vests for easy recognition.
When treating in place, direct crews to specific patients, ensuring timely assistance by other units.
Focus initial efforts on treating IMMEDIATE patients, easily identified by night-reflective labels.
If using a designated treatment area, prepare for incoming patients from the Extrication Sector and ensure clear entry points.
Ensure the treatment area is safe, accessible, and spacious enough for patients and treatment personnel.
For large incidents, establish multiple treatment areas with geographic designations (e.g., “East Treatment”, “West Treatment”).
Use traffic cones, signs, and salvage covers to mark the entrances and differentiate IMMEDIATE from DELAYED care areas.
Maintain a ratio of one treatment personnel for every four patients as a starting objective during significant incidents.
Organize patients in the treatment area with sufficient space between them for treatment.
Non-triaged patients arriving must be tagged at the treatment area entrance by a designated triage team.
Forward a “Triage Update” to Command for newly-discovered patients needing attention.
Continuously reassess all patients in the treatment area to ensure appropriate triage classification.
Assign ALS treatment predominantly in the "IMMEDIATE" area, while BLS personnel mostly oversee the "DELAYED" area.
Document medical information, vital signs, and treatment on the triage tag for all patients.
Supervise non-fire department medical personnel actively, ensuring they work under the Treatment Sector officer or designated leaders.
If a patient’s condition alters significantly, adjust their treatment priority as necessary, involving the Treatment Sector officer.
After treating all IMMEDIATE patients, assess DELAYED patients with serious mechanisms of injury for potential prioritization into IMMEDIATE status.
