Prioritization
(diagnostic procedures versus surgical care)

A = airway, B = breathing, C = circulation, D = disability; CRM = crisis resource management; CPR: cardiopulmonary resuscitation. DOPES: D = displacement (tube), o = Obstruction (tube), P = pneumothorax, E = equipment failure, S = stomach pressure; MVA = motor vehicle accident.
