Series of cases illustrating how to use the Emergency Severity Index (ESI), a five-level emergency department triage algorithm that provides clinically relevant stratification of patients into five groups from 1 (most urgent) to 5 (least urgent) on the basis of acuity and resource needs. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) funded initial work on the ESI. More information is available at [ Ссылка ].

This video was taken from a DVD on the ESI. It is a practice case study showing how to use the ESI when the pediatric patient presents with a sprained ankle.
