A simple formula is taught to make recall of basic information easier:
P = Prevent Further Injury
A = Assess the Situation
C = Contact the EMS
T = Treat the injured with Life Sustaining
Care using the ABCS of trauma:
A = Airway (Jaw Thrust)
B = Rescue Breathing
C = Control Bleeding
- bleeding you can see
- treat for shock
S = Spinal Immobilization
