About Triage Rush

Sort patients and make fast clinical calls in this free online diagnosis game about emergency medicine for med students.

Triage Rush is a free online triage game where you sort acute patients, stabilize fluctuating vitals and deliver treatments before anyone crashes. This emergency medicine game drills the brutal math of who needs help first.

Real triage ranks patients by urgency, not arrival order. The ABCs come first: airway, breathing, circulation. A quiet patient with a blocked airway beats a screaming stable one and vital signs like heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen saturation flag who is decompensating before it shows. Every second you spend deciding is a second someone spends deteriorating.

The stabilization loops mirror real emergency protocol. Fluids for shock, oxygen for hypoxia, targeted treatment once you know the cause, all while new patients keep arriving. Triage under scarcity is a skill literally drilled with mass-casualty exercises and this game captures the prioritization instincts clinicians build over years.
