What do you do first when evacuating a casualty? Check for injuries, check for breathing, send someone for help, or check for bleeding?

Answer 1

When evacuating a casualty, the first step is typically to check for breathing. Ensuring the casualty is breathing and has an open airway is a critical initial assessment. If they are not breathing, you may need to perform CPR before moving them. After confirming that they are breathing, or if the situation allows, you should then check for injuries and bleeding and send someone for help if needed. Always prioritize the airway, breathing, and circulation (the ABCs) in emergency situations.
