In START, if capillary refill is greater than 2 seconds, the patient should be tagged red.
Correct Answer:
Tag red
Explanation:
In START triage, capillary refill time is a quick way to judge peripheral perfusion and identify who needs life-saving intervention immediately. If refill is greater than 2 seconds, perfusion is compromised, indicating potential shock or serious blood loss. Such patients are assigned the red tag, signaling immediate attention. Yellow is for delayed patients who can wait a bit for care, green for minor injuries, and black for deceased or non-viable patients.
