ABCDE
Primary survey — every patient, every time
- •A — Airway (patent? snoring? stridor?)
- •B — Breathing (rate, depth, SpO₂, breath sounds)
- •C — Circulation (HR, BP, cap refill, bleeding)
- •D — Disability (LOC, GCS, glucose, pupils)
- •E — Exposure (skin, temp, head-to-toe)
Baddie rule 👑: if you can't remember what to do first, start at A. Always.
