B= Breathing
A= Airway open
Assess scene B
D = Defibrillation D S A
S=Shock management
Spinal injury management
Serious bleeding management C
C = Circulation-Chest compression

12. Check if the patient is conscious ?

13. Call for the patient (ask if he is ok ??)
Tap on his shoulder twice to make sure he is unconscious
