• Manual (hands) head restraint throughout the treatment if necessary (for example in a car accident or a fall from above, etc).
• Removal of airway-obstructing material (vomit, blood, etc).
• Opening the airway by jaw thrust if necessary, while maintaining the spinal/cervical spinal position.
• A general impression of head condition (bruising, discoloration, lips, etc).

• Check peripheral pulse (rate [speed], rhythm, strength).
• Check blood pressure (carotid-neck, femoral-by femur, radial-wrist).
• Stop excessive bleeding.
• Assess the skin’s condition (pale/cyanotic, body heat, dry/normal skin).
• Capillary Fill Test: the amount of time it takes the skin’s color to return to normal from the moment it is pressed. Most often the pressure is applied to the fingertips (over 2 seconds – impaired).

• Secondary assessment of the level of consciousness (AVPU)
• Observation of neurological condition (normal speech, cognizant of time and place)

• If necessary, completely undress the injured person and check for further injuries while trying to preserve the individual’s privacy.
• Re-cover the injured person after undressing to prevent hypothermia.

 During the second phase, continue with re-examination and follow-up anamnesis.

If necessary – evacuate to a hospital for further examination/treatment.
