“…The same authors subsequently investigated knowledge retention in another START triage study comparing scores immediately post-training and those six months later in both written and simulated scenarios. 18 In their written scenarios, a statistically significant drop in triage accuracy from 73.3% to 65.0% was found, whereas a significant reduction from 65.0% to 60.0% was reported in simulated scenarios. However, a 2011 study by Deluhery et al found no significant decline in triage accuracy when comparing post-training test scores and those occurring four months after.…”

“…The fact that a sizable proportion of the articles was published in 2012 indicates that the Pyramid and its percentages are still currently being cited in medical education literature. Further, the error is being reinforced in new articles and books dealing with medical education (Frith 2013;Risavi et al 2013;Sewell 2013).…”

Background: Edgar Dale's Pyramid of Learning and percentages of retained learning are cited in educational literature in a range of disciplines. The sources of the Pyramid, however, are misleading. Aims: To examine the evidence supporting the Pyramid and the extent to which it is cited in medical education literature. Methods: A review of literature based on a search utilising Academic Search Complete, CINAHL, Medline and Google Scholar conducted from September to November 2012. Results: A total of 43 peer-reviewed medical education journal articles and conference papers were found. While some researchers had been misled by their sources, other authors' interpretations of the citations did not align with the content of those citations, had no such citations, had circular references, or consulted questionable sources. There was no agreement on the percentages of learning retention, in spite of many researchers' citing primary texts. Discussion and conclusion: The inappropriate citing of the Pyramid and its associated percentages in medical education literature is widespread and continuous. This citing undermines much of the published work, and impacts on research-based medical education literature. While the area of learning/teaching strategies and amount of retention from each is an area for future research, any reference to the Pyramid should be avoided.

“…Accordingly, planning and management are the most critical elements for optimal allocation of limited resources in such incidents [5]. Management of these conditions is a complex process that includes coordination of therapeutic interventions and effective triage [6][7][8]. This V objective will be achieved if health centers are at least prepared for different incidents [9].…”

AM local time, an explosion occurred in the Zemestan-Yurt coal mine in Azadshahr City of Golestan Province, northern Iran, which resulted in mass casualty incident. Materials and Methods: In total, more than 126 miners were affected. Of them, 43 miners were killed, 73 other workers who helped their coworkers were also injured and taken to the hospital, and 10 injured people received on-site prehospital medical care. Many defects in the response phase were identified in the scene management and the triage. Results: It seems necessary to establish a response plan for mass casualty incident, hold regular education, and plan to prepare involved units for appropriate responses. Conclusion: These measures are the first steps needed to improve preparedness and response to a mass casualty incident.
