The French word "trier", the origin of the word "triage", was originally applied to a process of sorting, probably around 1792, by Baron Dominique Jean Larrey, Surgeon in Chief to Napoleon's Imperial Guard. Larrey was credited with designing a flying ambulance: the Ambulance Volante. Baron Francois Percy also contributed to the organisation of a care system for the ongoing management of casualties. Out of the French Service de Santé, not only emerged the concept of triage, but the organisational structure necessary to handle the growing number of casualties in modern warfare.

: Thanks to the evolution of laboratory medicine, point-of-care testing (POCT) for troponin levels in the blood (hs-cTn) has been greatly improved in order to quickly diagnose acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with an accuracy similar to standard laboratory tests. The rationale of the HEART POCT study is to propose the application of the 0/1 h European Society of Cardiology (ESC) algorithm in the pre-hospital setting using a POCT device (Atellica VTLi). : This is a prospective study comparing patients who underwent pre-hospital point-of-care troponin testing (Atellica VTLi) with a control group that underwent standard hospital-based troponin testing (Elecsys).
