In the new edition of "the backpain revolution" (probably also in the old)the word triage is used and I´m having problems finding the translation for it (two dictionary´s don´t mention it). Could you help me with a synonym?

Thanks

Geert

Geert, as far as I can remember, "triage" refers to the system at emerg. depts. and the medical clinics at sporting events where (usually) a nurse screens the patient and prioritizes into (originally 3) groups of need for speed and type of care.

An example:
At a world triathlon event, three cases showed up at same time, one limping on a "bad foot", one bleeding from a chafed nipple, and one looking really pale and showing signs of incoherence. The triage nurse (from an emerg dept in a large hosp) did the intake and was quick to get the pale one seen NOW, the nipple to another nurse for care and the foot to a PT and sports MD for eval.

Hello,
Here is what I found.

"triage [n]

1) sorting and allocating aid on the basis of need for or likely benefit from medical treatment or food

Synonyms:
See Also: sorting"
