Rising patient numbers and overcrowded emergency departments increase wait times, sometimes beyond safe limits. In Slovenia, MTS has been in use for 14 years without major updates, despite a significant rise in emergency visits. The yellow triage category (60-minute wait time) includes a very diverse group of patients, some of whom might require faster care. Older patients, in particular, often show atypical symptoms and may be under-triaged. Including rapid bedside lab tests, like blood lactate levels, could improve risk assessment and triage accuracy. Elevated lactate is linked with higher mortality and can help identify critically ill patients more effectively. The proposed study is a prospective, randomiz
