Patient Assessment
No matter which Primary Survey acronym you’ve been taught, they all serve the same purpose: a structured, systematic approach to assessing a patient and identifying life-threatening issues quickly.
🟢 First Aid Primary Survey
The foundation for first aiders, aligned with ANZCOR guidelines.
Ideal for sudden collapse, cardiac arrest, and general medical emergencies.
🔴 Trauma Primary Survey
Builds on those foundations for first aiders with more advanced skills.
Ideal for trauma, remote environments, and workplaces with higher risk or advanced equipment.
⚫ Tactical Primary Survey
Designed for dynamic, high-threat environments where care is delivered under pressure.
Ideal for hostile or high-risk locations.
There’s no one-size-fits-all Primary Survey, the key is using the right framework for the situation and your level of training.
