|
Initial Action?
|
Is the airway or closed?
|
|
After checking the airway, what do you do?
|
Assess breathing.
Is breathing adequate? or Inadequate? |
|
After breathing, you check?
|
Is a Pulse/ signs of circulation present or not?

|
If there is not pulse/ sign of circulation, what should you do?
|
Check for electrical activity.
|
