c is for circulation
ABCDEF pnemonic for CPR : * Airway * Breathing * Circulation * Drug administration * Electrical defibrillation * Follow up
Circulation
a- Airway b-breathing c-circulation
airway, breathing, pulse
A = Airway B = Breathing C = CPR D = Defibrillation
The entire lower airway is supported by c shaped cartilaginous rings. These rings hold the passageway open and get smaller when air exchange is made.
A: Is the Airway obstructed?B: Is the victim Breathing?C: Does the victim have Circulation (a pulse)?
The "C" in CAB stands for "Circulation." In the context of emergency response, CAB refers to the sequence of actions to take when assessing a victim: checking Circulation, Airway, and Breathing. This approach prioritizes the restoration of blood flow and heart function before addressing airway and breathing issues.
An airway that is not blocked. If you can breathe easily, you have an active airway. If you are choking, you do not.
A = Airway, as in Clear the Airway- B = Breathing, as in give one or two Rescue Breaths- and C = Chest compressions, as in give Chest Compressions (100 per minute) until recovery or professional medical assistance arrives. ***NOTE!! - The order of interventions (for all age groups except newborns, or those in respiratory arrest such as drowning victims) was updated from A-B-C to C-A-B in 2010.

The meaning of ABC is: A = airway B= breathing C= circulation.
