I know this may sound like an uneducated questions but I'm a student who has been out of class for a while and preparing for my nremt. Relating to taking a test Everyone keeps saying always go with ABC's if it has to do with opening airway pick it... if it has to do with providing oxygen pick it.... well i keep arguing with my self on this because wouldn't you take c-spine precautions in a trauma patient before you open airway.. or wouldn't gushing blood be an apparent life threat what you would address before airway... should you always stick to the ABC rule FIRST ofter scene safe bsi when taking a test... for example if I get a quetion that says unresponsive trauma patient involved in a mva breathing 12 times per minute what do you do first.. 1. take cspine 2.open airway using jaw thrust 3.provide oxygen non rebreather 15lpm or 4.transport well I would say grap cspine is this correct or should it be insure open airway does abc's ALWAYS come first.. when would it not..
thanks
