Great question!
The American Heart Association (AHA) shifted from ABC (Airway, Breathing, Circulation) to CAB (Circulation, Airway, Breathing) to emphasize the importance of circulation, especially during cardiac arrest. Early chest compressions are critical for maintaining blood flow to vital organs, which is why circulation is prioritized before airway and breathing.
In trauma situations, CAB becomes even more crucial due to the potential for rapid blood loss. Uncontrolled bleeding is a leading cause of preventable death in trauma, so addressing circulation first—by stopping the bleeding with direct pressure or a tourniquet—is essential. Once circulation is stabilized, airway and breathing can be managed.
Whether in cardiac arrest or trauma, the CAB approach ensures that the most life-threatening issues, like blood loss or cardiac arrest, are addressed first to increase the chances of survival.
@Ray Castle Ray, thank you for your response.
question: ABC or CBA.?
