ABCDE

Airways, Breathing, Circulation, Disabilities, Extrication. Acronym based off the ABC's of CPR. The ABCDE's are used by many mountain search and rescue teams to help them remember the correct protocol. Without the Airways being open, it does not matter if the victim has a pulse or is even breathing.

Rescuer 1: Don't forget ABCDE.

Rescuer 2: Already done.
