During resuscitation, it is important to distinguish between those maneuvers directed at patient revival and those directed at examination and measurement. Revival should always be the top priority. The steps for revival are easily remembered as ABCDEF: Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Decompression, Elimination, and Fluids. Once these steps have been completed, vital functions can be assessed and measurements to aid in diagnosis can be taken.

Everyone on here is incorrect. It is Airway: Check victums airway for objects. B: breaths: Give 2 resuce breaths. C: Circulation: start cpr to get circulation going to brain. D: Defribilator: Use defibrilator if nessesary asap to better chances of survival. There is no E!

DRABC should always be used when you reach a scene. Until you've assessed the danger to yourself and others around you and the patients around you and the patient you shouldn't go near the patient. You are your first priority as a first-aider. Paramedics need the least number of patients properly, if you can't treat a patient without hurting yourself, save the paramedics a job and don't go near the patient and injure yourself. Response means not only how your patient responds to you but how you respond to the danger around you. If you can see sharp shards of glass around the patient you need to move them before you treat the patient, this is a response to the danger. You then need to check the patients responses, are they talking to you? can they hear you? do they make any response to your noises? if they don't do they respond to you pinching their eyebrow or the top of their ear? Airways means check it, even if their conscious and seem to be breathing normally you need to check how the patient feels about the breathing. I've had patients who seemed fine and just had a sprained ankle pass out on me, come round and tell me they feel as if their throat is closing up, you should always always check their airways when you show up. Breathing is the same, even a simple sprain can cause so much pain that your patient could pass out or even stop breathing. It's something you always need to be aware of.. Just ask them how their chest feels and how it feels to breath. Keep checking on it, you need to be aware of their breathing and any potential problems all the time you're working, splinting a broken ankle etc could knock someone out if the pain is really intense. Consciousness should be always checked, you need to be aware at all times if your patient looks like he's going to pass out. People have different pain thresholds and what one person can handle, someone else might not be able to. I pass out trying to donate blood, something most people can handle. I warn the first-aiders there before I donate so they are always aware and can keep an eye out for the signs. If you notice someone start to suddenly breathe more heavily than normal, see all the blood drain from their face, or see them suddenly start to fall without seemingly being able to stop themselves. Be prepared to deal with unconsciousness on top of their other injuries. Someone is lying on their back on the side walk unconscious. As a passer-by my first response is, huh maybe their just drunk. As a first-responder my first response is to look above me and see if they've fallen from a height or if anything could fall on me or the patient. I then consider what's lying around the patient. Are their needles? Is their empty alcohol bottles? Is their empty medication bottles? Is their any indication of what I'm dealing with around the patient? I then respond in the manner I deem necessary, in this case, checking for a response from the patient, I start by talking to him, shaking his shoulders whilst talking to him, asking if he can hear me, and asking him to respond in any way he can if he can hear me, if I still have no response, I pinch his eyebrow or the lower lobe of his ear, both are very painful but not very harmful, if you are conscious but can't talk etc there is no way you wouldn't respond in someway to that kind of pain, trust me, try it out on yourself or someone else, IT HURTS. I was always told to kick them if that didn't get a response, in the lower leg near the shin if I saw no injury there but I've never done that, even with no response. After I get my response, or my lack of response, I move on to his airways, I open his mouth, can I hear him breathing? I check, is there anything lodged in his mouth or throat I need to move out of the way so he can breathe? Is he choking on his own vomit? Then his breathing, does it sound normal? raspy? slight? slow? How would I describe it when the paramedics ask, this normally tells me how to responds, normal means recovery position and just keep an eye on it but treat his other injuries, anything other than normal means whilst treating his other injuries I need to keep going back every two minutes or so and checking his breathing. The moment it stops if it's going to, I need to be ready to respond. Circulation, to me is not that important, it's not as useful as some instructors make out. Some people, like my fiance have awful circulation anyway so that wouldn't tell a paramedic anything at all. You can if someone has been crushed by something check the circulation in their nails to see if the blood is still getting to their extremities etc, but other than that the only real use is in their face. Is their face suddenly a pale or grey colour? are their lips blue? If so it's time for me to intervene and find out why they aren't getting any oxygen. You don't need a specific situation for DR ABC, you need to use it in EVERY first-aid situation you come across. DR ABC is something EVERY first aider should be using ALL of the time, not just in some situations. You should ALWAYS be aware of what's going on around you and your patient and how your patient is breathing and how long they are staying conscious for. There is nothing more important than keeping your patient breathing and preferably conscious for as long as you physically can, that is ALWAYS your first priority after your safety.
