What are the steps of the ABC of life?

The ABC of life consists of Airway, Breathing, and Circulation.
The steps should be checked in that order.
If the victim is making sounds or speaking, they are breathing and have a pulse, and no action is needed.
If there is no pulse or breathing, start Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) if you know the procedures.
If there is a pulse but no breathing, start artificial respiration (mouth-to-mouth breathing).
After going through the ABC, start the secondary examination.
During the initial assessment, the patient's general impression, level of consciousness, airway permeability/cervical spine, breathing, circulation, and priority for transportation should be evaluated.
During the initial assessment, if the patient is conscious, the rescuer should introduce themselves, identify themselves as technically capable, and ask the patient if they can help them (request for consent to provide assistance).
The primary approach to facilitate memorization is called the ABCD of trauma, which stands for Airway with cervical control, Breathing, Circulation with hemorrhage control, Disability (neurological status), and Exposure of the victim (for secondary approach).
