C: Circulation Chest
D: Disability Abdomen and Flanks
E: Exposure and Environment Pelvis and Perineum
F: Facilitate adjuncts and Family Extremities
Inspect Posterior Surfaces
• Primary Survey
o Focuses on airway, breathing, circulation, disability, exposure, facilitation of adjuncts, and family
o If uncontrolled external hemorrhage is noted, format may be reprioritized with CABC for hemorrhage
o Primary survey aids to identify life-threatening conditions so appropriate interventions can be started
