When encountering a child with a severely angulated leg during triage, what is the appropriate triage decision?

In triage situations, the priority is to assess and prioritize patients based on the severity of their injuries and the potential need for immediate medical intervention. When encountering a child with a severely angulated leg, this injury indicates a serious concern requiring medical evaluation and possible intervention. Assigning a delayed category (yellow) is appropriate because it recognizes that the child has a significant injury that is not immediately life-threatening but still requires timely care.

This classification allows for the management of other patients in more critical condition without neglecting the needs of the child. Meanwhile, immediate stabilization or drastic measures, such as high-flow oxygen or binding the legs, may not be necessary or could complicate the situation without addressing the primary concern of effective triage.
