check the persons pulse
look for the chest to raise
listen for their breathing
This is a 5 point plan used to approach a casualty in a first air situation. D = Danger, Check for danger to self, others and casualty. R = Response, Is the casualty conscious? A = Airway, Check the casualty's airway is clear. B = Breathing, Is the casualty breathing? C = Circulation, Do they have a pulse?
A - Airway Check that casualty's airway is clear B - Breathing Check if the casualty is breathing C - Circulation eg. Check if casualty has blood circulation, control any blood loss, etc
well im in Australia and we use DRABC...they stand for: Danger- is there a danger to youself, bystanders or the casualty Response- does the casualty respond to any sort of communication between you and them Airway- does the casualty have a clear airway with no blockages Breathing- is casualty breathing Circulation- check casualties hands and feet, are they normal colour?
Firstly check for Danger,Response,Airway,Breathing and Circulation
In first aid, usually we like to call the person getting hurt a casualty instead of a victim. The first part of the assessment of the casualty is the Primary Survey. ABC Check the AIRWAYS BREATHING and CIRCULATION before assessing the casualty, you will want to do an Emergency Scene survey, and call for help.
You can check for unconsciousness by gently shaking the casualty and calling their name. If they do not respond, try tapping their shoulder or pinching their skin. Look for any signs of movement, breathing, or response to stimuli.
Ensure casualty is breathing.
The DRABC plan is a systematic approach used in first aid to assess and manage a casualty's condition. It stands for Danger, Response, Airway, Breathing, and Circulation. First, ensure the scene is safe (Danger), then check if the person is responsive (Response). If unresponsive, clear the airway (Airway), assess breathing (Breathing), and check for circulation (Circulation) to determine the necessary interventions.
DRSABCD is a first aid mnemonic that stands for Danger, Response, Send for help, Airway, Breathing, CPR, and Defibrillation. In the case of a casualty who is not breathing and unconscious, you would first ensure the area is safe (Danger), check for responsiveness (Response), call for emergency help (Send for help), open the airway (Airway), check for breathing (Breathing), and if there’s no breathing, start CPR. If an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is available, it should be used as soon as possible (Defibrillation).
The first step in checking the airway of a casualty is to ensure the scene is safe for both the rescuer and the victim. Then, gently tilt the casualty's head back by placing one hand on the forehead and using the other hand to lift the chin, which helps open the airway. Next, check for breathing by looking, listening, and feeling for any signs of breath for no more than 10 seconds. If the casualty is not breathing, initiate appropriate emergency response measures, such as calling for help and beginning CPR if trained to do so.
send for help check air ways open check for response check pules till head back gently and then start cpr untill medical help arrives :D hope that this helped
Open the airway with a head-tilt-chin-lift or a jaw thrust if there is a suspected spinal injury. Then look, listen, and feel for breathing/respirations.
