SAFE-T Toolkits - Strangulation Assessment and Forensic Evaluation Toolkits
The SDFI SAFE-T can be used for all patients who have a history of being previously strangled as well as a patient who has been acutely strangled and may require an evaluation in addition to evidentiary samples that may be provided to law enforcement.
The use of this toolkit will help promote continuing development of the highly specialized skills necessary for effective evaluation of a person assaulted by strangulation. This standardized toolkit will be beneficial in assisting nurses, physicians, emergency department personnel and child advocacy centers, in the assessment and documentation of strangulation cases within their communities.
