5. Establish rapport with the victim by introducing
yourself and explaining that you are there to
help.

Airway and Spine Stabilization (4 Points)

1. Head-Tilt/Chin Lift Maneuver

2. Jaw Thrust Maneuver

3. Do the finger sweep. Wrap your index and
middle finger in cloth and sweep any liquid
or foreign objects seen in the mouth.

4. Establish manual in-line spinal stabilization
by bringing the victims head into a neutral
in-line position. Have someone in the scene
hold the victims head so that the nose is in
line with the navel (belly button) and the
neck is not bent forward or backward.
Maintain this position all throughout the
procedure.

Breathing and Circulation Assessment (5 Points)

1. Look for chest rise and fall

2. Listen for sounds of air movement coming
from the victim by placing your ear next to
the victims mouth and nose

3. Feel for air passing in and out by placing
your cheek next to the victims mouth and
nose

4. Assess the circulation by feeling for the
carotid pulse. Using the index and middle
fingers, locate the Adams apple and slide
your fingers to the side near you.

5. Check for serious or profuse bleeding by
looking over the victims entire body for
blood (blood-soaked clothing or blood
pooling on the floor or ground).

Basic Life Support (5 Points)

1. Position shoulders over hands with elbows
locked and arms straight

2. Give 30 chest compressions within 15-18
seconds with minimized interruption

3. Allow the chest to return to its normal
position after each compression

4. Give 2 one-second rescue breaths while
pinching nose

5. Pulse check every 2 minutes until victim
is revived or until help arrive

Disability Check (11 Points)

1. Treat all unconscious victims as if they have
spine injuries until proven otherwise

2. Recognize the signs and symptoms of
fractures

3. Apply a rigid cervical collar to the victims
neck.

4. Prepare the materials for splinting. Pad the
splints to prevent pressure and discomfort
to the victim; prepare the triangular
bandages.

5. Assess the pulse and sensation below the
injury.

6. Measure the splint to make sure it is the
right size. The splint should be long enough
to immobilize the entire bone plus the joints
above and below the fractured site.

7. Splint the injury in the position you found it.
Immobilize the entire injured extremity plus
the joints above and below the fractured
site.

8. Secure the splints with the bandages starting
from the distal end of the splint to the
proximal end. In slipping the bandage under
the extremity, place the bandage over a
separate splint and slide the splint under the
extremity.

9. Splint firmly enough to immobilize but not
tightly enough to stop blood circulation or
prevent lung expansion. In securing the
chest with a bandage, ask the victim to
inhale deeply or if unconscious, use three
finger breadths as allowance for lung
expansion before tying the bandage.

10. Make sure that the bandages have no loose
ends. For added protection, put some
padding in between splints and the treated
extremity.

11. Reassess the pulse and sensation below the
injury after you apply the splint and evaluate
these signs every 15 minutes to make sure
that the splint is not impeding circulation.
