Correct answer
Whether the airway is open and breathing is normal, minimising neck movement.
Assess whether the airway is open and breathing is normal. Follow the 112 dispatcher and minimise neck movement when maintaining the airway after trauma. If breathing is absent or abnormal, including gasping, immediate resuscitation is needed. Do not routinely place a trauma victim in the recovery position or delay this assessment to look for internal injuries. Life-threatening external bleeding requires urgent control; the question excludes it.
