Revised Trauma Score Calculator
Calculate the Revised Trauma Score (RTS) to assess injury severity in trauma patients. RTS is used in emergency medicine to triage and predict patient outcomes based on Glasgow Coma Scale, systolic blood pressure, and respiratory rate.
Step 1: Patient Vital Signs
GCS Score Interpretation
3-8: Severe injury | 9-12: Moderate injury | 13-15: Minor injury
About the Revised Trauma Score
The RTS ranges from 0-12, with lower scores indicating more severe trauma. It’s used for triage and to predict patient outcomes in emergency settings.
Step 2: Injury Details
Clinical Use
RTS is part of the Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) methodology. Scores ≤11 indicate need for trauma center care.

Revised Trauma Score (RTS)
RTS Component Coding System
| Component | Measurement Range | Coded Value | Weight |
|---|
RTS Calculation Formula
RTS = 0.9368 × GCS coded value + 0.7326 × SBP coded value + 0.2908 × RR coded value
The coded values range from 0-4 for each component based on severity.
Trauma Triage Recommendations
Trauma Center Transport Guidelines
RTS ≤ 11: Transport to Trauma Center
Patients with RTS ≤ 11 have significant trauma and should be transported to a trauma center for specialized care.
