Patient

How this tool works

Working through the score

Start with the patient. The reference table beside the score redraws for the species you choose.

Tick one option in each of the six Animal Trauma Triage categories. The total, the meter and the reading beside them update as you go, and the counter at the top of the panel says how many of the six are scored so far, while the reading beside the score names how many are still unscored.

Turn head trauma on to add the three Modified Glasgow Coma Scale categories, their counter, their chip and their bands in the reference table. Turn it off again and the ATT score is untouched.

Start again clears every tick and leaves the patient and head-trauma choices where they are. Copy results puts the patient, both totals and every scored category on the clipboard as plain text; Email results and Print / Save PDF carry the score card beside it.
