Question

ABC - airway breathing circulation

Answer 2

In 2010 the AHA made a radical change to how we approach CPR. Up until then we all lived by the trusty "ABC" (Airway, Breathing, Circulation) method of resuscitation. Not surprisingly, though, the AHA's ongoing research began to show that compressions are the most important part of CPR and any delay or interruption resulted in worse outcomes. It was also discovered that during CPR, the patient's blood stays oxygenated for 4-6 minutes after their last breath. In response to this research, and in an attempt to simplify CPR for untrained laypeople, the AHA decided to switch our initial approach from ABC to CAB. While this change is medically sound, it has cause a lot of confusion for healthcare professionals who regularly use ABC for other scenarios. So, ABC vs CAB, which is correct? This post will explain the history of both approaches and when it is appropriate to use one over other. We have updated the library of NREMT test prep materials at MedicTests.com to reflect the following information.

In 1973 the ABC model, originally popularized by Peter Safar, was adopted by the AHA as a mnemonic for first-aiders to remember the steps of CPR. Over time, the ABC assessment was informally adopted by the emergency medicine crowd as the unconditional first step during an assessment. ABC has fit the bill for the unique environment of emergency medicine because of its simplicity and its ability to immediately identify life threats. Since its inception, we've happily used this mnemonic in every situation, from childbirth to chest pain.
