| Purpose | scored severity of medical emergency |
A NACA score (or National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics score) is a scoring system of the severity in cases of medical emergencies such as injuries, diseases or poisonings. It was developed from the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics for accidents in aviation.[1][2]
The NACA score is divided into the following, specified with Roman numerals or the Arabic zero.[2]
Categories:
| Category | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| NACA 0 | No injury or disease. This category is often deleted or replaced by NACA I. |
|
| NACA I | Minor disturbance. No medical intervention is required. | E.g. slight abrasion. |
| NACA II | Slight to moderate disturbance. Outpatient medical investigation, but usually no emergency medical measures necessary. | for example, fracture of a finger bone, moderate cuts, dehydration. |
| NACA III | Moderate to severe but not life-threatening disorder. Stationary treatment required, often emergency medical measures on the site | e.g. femur fracture, milder stroke, smoke inhalation. |
| NACA IV | Serious incident where rapid development into a life-threatening condition can not be excluded. In the majority of cases, emergency medical care is required | for example. vertebral injury with neurological deficit, severe asthma attack; drug poisoning. |
| NACA V | Acute danger | for example, third grade skull or brain trauma, severe heart attack, significant opioid poisoning. |
| NACA VI | respiratory and/or cardiac arrest | --- |
| NACA VII | death | --- |
