What do the ABC's of CPR stand for?

Answer 1

First Aid

ABC is an acronym used in rescue and first aid, meaning "Airway, Breathing, Circulation". These are the first conditions one checks -- in this order -- upon reaching a trauma victim.

First, see if they are breathing and the airway is open. Check again for breathing -- if they aren't breathing, start resuscitation. Check then for Circulation -- this means both pulse and heartbeat (first), and then bleeding.
