In the START system, which tag indicates that evacuation can be delayed until immediate patients have been transported, breathing normally, with radial pulse present and level of responsiveness normal?

In the START (Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment) system, the yellow tag is designated for patients whose evacuation can be delayed. This categorization indicates that the patient demonstrates stable vital signs: they are breathing normally, possess a radial pulse, and have a normal level of responsiveness. These patients are often referred to as "delayed" and are not in immediate life-threatening conditions, allowing rescue and medical personnel to focus on those who are critically injured or in need of urgent care.

The other categories are clearly defined within the START system: red tags signify patients who require immediate attention due to life-threatening conditions, black tags denote those who are deceased or not salvageable, and green tags are for patients who are walking wounded and can wait for treatment. The distinction between these categories helps prioritize treatment and management of casualties in emergency situations, ensuring that resources are effectively allocated to those in greatest need.
