cardiac activity and constriction of blood vessels, which causes a rise in heart rate and
diastolic blood pressure -Baroreceptors:
1. A- airway and Alertness with simultaneous cervical spinal stabilization
2. B- breathing and Ventilation
3. circulation and control of hemorrhage
4. D - disability (neurologic status)
5. F - full set of vitals and Family presence
6. G - Get resuscitation adjuncts
L- Lab results (arterial gases, blood type and crossmatch)
M- monitor for continuous cardiac rhythm and rate assessment
N- naso or orogastric tube consideration
O- oxygenation and ventilation analysis: Pulse oxygemetry and end-tidal caron dioxide
