In a mass-casualty incident, patients are typically divided into five categories based on the severity of their injuries and the urgency of their need for medical care. These categories are: 1) Immediate (Red) - critical injuries requiring urgent treatment; 2) Delayed (Yellow) - serious but stable injuries that can wait for treatment; 3) Minimal (Green) - minor injuries that can self-treat; 4) Expectant (Black) - patients with critical injuries unlikely to survive; and 5) Deceased - patients who are confirmed dead. This triage system helps prioritize care and allocate resources effectively.
