The RTS score, or Revised Trauma Score, is a medical scoring system used to assess the severity of a traumatic injury and help prioritize treatment, especially in pre-hospital settings. It combines three components: the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and respiratory rate, each scored and weighted to provide an overall score. The RTS is used to predict patient outcomes and guide decisions on the urgency and type of medical intervention needed.
