- Alpha – Lowest priority level (e.g. fall victims, non-traumatic pain).
- Bravo – Often used for “unknown patient status” but can be known symptoms as well.
- Charlie – Can include symptoms such as hemorrhaging or syncopal episodes.
- Delta – These responses can range from difficulty breathing to gunshot wounds and more.
- Echo – Almost always reserved for cardiac or respiratory arrest, but may include “ineffective breathing” or unknown breathing status.
