Résumé
Cet exercice pratique de triage présente un cas clinique fictif illustrant l’application des nouvelles recommandations de l’Échelle canadienne de triage et de gravité (ÉTG) 2024. La révision a été menée conjointement par l’Association nationale des infirmières et infirmiers d’urgence (ANIIU) et l’Association canadienne des médecins d’urgence (ACMU). À partir d’un scénario clinique d’une personne présentant des manifestations cliniques d’un accident vasculaire cérébral (AVC) au réveil, cet exercice pratique vise à revoir la démarche clinique et la priorisation selon les nouvelles recommandations des modificateurs primaires et spécifiques à la raison de consultation selon l’ÉTG.

Abstract
This practical triage exercise presents a fictional clinical case illustrating the application of the 2024 updates to the Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS). The revision was conducted jointly by the National Emergency Nurses Association (NENA) and the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians (CAEP). Based on a clinical scenario involving an individual presenting with signs and symptoms of a wake-up stroke, this exercise aims to review the clinical assessment process and prioritization according to the updated recommendations for primary and complaint-specific modifiers within the CTAS.
