The presence of extreme pain according to the classification system used should be considered as a criterion within this category.

They are those patients who need a complementary examination or rapid treatment, since they are stable from the physiological point of view, although their situation may worsen if no action is taken.
Triage IV: the patient presents medical conditions that do not compromise their general condition, nor do they represent an obvious risk to life or loss of limb or organ. However, there are risks of complication or sequelae of illness or injury if you do not receive proper care.
