🚑 Basic Emergency Steps (ABCDE)
A – Airway: Clear airway, head-tilt chin-lift
B – Breathing: Look, Listen, Feel (≤10 sec)
C – Circulation: Check pulse, control bleeding
D – Disability: Check consciousness (AVPU)
E – Exposure: Expose patient, prevent hypothermia
👉 ABCDE is VERY common in MCQs
❤️ CPR – GOLDEN EXAM FACTS
Adult CPR Ratio: 30 compressions : 2 breaths
Compression rate: 100–120/min
Depth: 5–6 cm (adult)
Location: Center of chest (lower half of sternum)
Stop CPR only when: Help arrives / patient revives / rescuer exhausted
📌 Compression rate & ratio = favorite questions
🩸 BLEEDING (Hemorrhage)
Apply direct pressure
Elevate limb (if no fracture)
Use tourniquet (life-threatening bleed only)
DO NOT remove embedded objects
🔥 BURNS – QUICK POINTS
Cool burn with running water 20 minutes
Do NOT apply oil / toothpaste / butter
Cover with clean cloth
Rule of 9 used to calculate burn area
😵 UNCONSCIOUS PATIENT
Place in recovery position
Check airway & breathing
Never give food or water
⚡ SHOCK – KEY SIGNS
Cold, clammy skin
Low BP
Fast pulse
Restlessness
👉 Management: Lay flat, raise legs, keep warm, oxygen
🧠 COMMON EXAM SHORT NOTES
AVPU Scale: Alert, Voice, Pain, Unresponsive
GCS: Normal = 15, Severe head injury ≤8
Golden Hour: First 60 minutes after trauma
Triage Colors:
Red – Immediate
Yellow – Urgent
Green – Minor
Black – Dead

✔ Read numbers carefully (rate, depth, dosage)
✔ CPR, Shock, Burns = repeat topics
