Traditional triage method using SOAP information collection table were applied in 83 cases of patients with abdominal pain (the control group) from July to October 2016. The accuracy rate of triage were compared between two groups. Results The accuracy rate of nurse triage for acute abdomen was 89.90％ (89/99) in the observation group, and 78.31％ (65/83) in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (χ2=4.66, P< 0.05). Conclusions The combination use of PQRST formula and the abdominal organ projection image in triage can improve the accuracy of emergency triage.
