| If you are minimizing the scene care of a multiple trauma patient- you would perform: | suction the airway, ventilate with a BVM, immobilize the cervical spine |
| If you are trying to cut scene time for a multiple trauma patient, never cut out | scene safety |
| These treatments may be used on the scene of a critical trauma patient: | suction airway, insert oral/nasal airway, seal sucking chest wound, ventilate with bag valve mask, high concentration oxygen, control bleeding, immobilize patient with cervical collar and long backboard, inflate pneumatic antishock garment |
