Rapidly assess and address life-threatening conditions following the ABCDE method: Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Disability, Exposure/Environmental control. Evaluate the patient's verbal communication, Glasgow Coma Scale, and for signs of foreign objects or facial fractures. Maintain cervical spine immobilization unless necessary for evaluation or treatment, ensuring inline stabilization is provided.

2. Identify life-threatening conditions Rapid! Goal is to complete in under 10 seconds Institute management simultaneously

3. A irway maintenance with cervical spine protection B reathing and ventilation C irculation with hemorrhage control D isability: Neurologic status E xposure/ E nvironmental control: Completely undress the patient, but prevent hypothermia

4. Verbal communication (including crying in children) Re-evaluate often Inspect Foreign body Fracture of facial bones, mandible, trachea or larynx GCS < 8, Intubate to protect airway Glasgow Coma Scale (to be outlined later)

5. Important to maintain while addressing airway Do not Hyperextend Hyperflex Rotate

7. Immobilization device removed for evaluation or treatment Member of team must hold using inline techniques
