The mnemonic B.R.I.M. is used widely in Emergency Medicine as an initial assessment of the patient's condition.

Breathing

Response

I Eyes

Movement

The BRIM mnemonic takes into account breathing and response as outlined in the Primary Action Plan and Eyes and Movement from the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS Scale).

If a patient has breathing, response, eyes open spontaneously and movement is normal, the doctor can safety rule out any immediate life-threatening injuries at the present time. He can then conduct more tests to diagnosis the patients condition.
