Assuming it is derived from the ATLS (advanced trauma life support) system then it stands for disability confusingly enough.

E stands for exposure, as in fully expose the patient so you can check the whole body for evidence of injury.

To my recollection ABCDE stands for Airway-Breathing-Circulation-Disability-Exposure, and serves as a mnemonic for what to check for first if someone is injured. I got a little laminated card with that and some other things to remember with the Wilderness First Aid course I took.

* Check and clear any airway obstructions.
* Check and clear anything that prevents the person from breathing and try to get them breathing again.
* Make sure there is blood circulation and that their blood is staying inside the body. Take steps to keep it there. Carry a tourniquet and quick-clot gauze as help may be hours away at best.
* Check for cognitive deficits(disability/dementia) -- drugs can cause these as can hitting your head or not getting enough oxygen. One of the signs of altitude sickness is how a person is behaving and whether they appear to be aware of where they are and what they're doing.
* Exposure is often difficult in the backcountry because replacement body coverings may not be available, so cutting someone's clothes off is often a bad idea. We were trained more on putting our gloved hands under clothing and palpating surfaces. Gloves are nice because if you put a clean glove in and it comes out bloody that's almost as good as taking the clothing off.

Like you said I’m thinking it is part of a rack of some sort. I know I had a bunch of PVC in my old truck to hold fishing rods that was definitely redneck. It was a S10 though and I had a lot of 7’ and 8’ rods that didn’t break down so instead of paying a bunch of money for a real rod holder I made something out of plywood, PVC, a bit of pool noddle, bungee cords, and some bricks to give it weight and keep it in the bed.

Remember Drs at the start of that.

Danger: is there any danger in assessing the person. Downed power lines, leaking fuel, dangerous animal still present
Response: is the person conscious and can talk to you. No point in trying to clear an airway on someone still conscious.
Send for help: you're probably good at first aid. The people on the other end of the phone are better. Get someone to call them while you do what you can.

Maybe a rack to hold ladders so they don’t scratch the sweet ride?

I also learned ABCDE:

Ass: did they poo poo their pants? If so they died.
Butt: check again
Check the butt: be 100% sure that they did not crap themselves
Dick: do they have a dick? if not are they supposed to?

Pretty much although in the back country sending for help can mean waiting several hours to communicate with anyone outside of your group so you’d usually send someone to do that.

Had some lovely OSHA at work this week.

I was a project we have at a port facility Monday afternoon. The Port had an arc flash incident severely injuring an electrician and their third-party electrical engineer. They didn't provide many details but it sounded like they went in to a cabinet that they thought was de-energized, when it was...not. And nothing out there is low-voltage. They have a dozen buildings, container yard lighting, vehicle entry points, plus the dozen huge loving cranes that pull containers off ships. The EE is a 70+ year old man who has been working out there for years. It sounded like he may have gotten the worst of it since the medevac helo was for him. Both ended up at the regional burn unit. State OSHA was out there for the next several days.

Is there not a huge loving warning light on the front of every cabinet that shows its status?

(I was going to say the light draws from the cabinet and only turns off when the cabinet does, but that's not fail-safe. You need the light to turn on when the cabinet turns off.)

This is interesting, thanks. As a former in hospital atls practitioner seeing how it is adapted to different situations in cool.

We always enjoyed cutting the clothes off in the emergency department. No weather or poisonous things to worry about.

I always wondered about that. Bringing my bag o’ stuff home after an emergency visit to the ICU and finding all my clothes had been reduced to rags was a bit of a shock, despite having been on the first aid side of things in the past and knowing that’s what happens (hell, I still have my blunted scissors for doing it to other people).

I mean, next time, maybe just incinerate them for me? It’s less depressing than realizing my Ducktales shirt is a total loss, on top of all the incoming hospital bills :sigh:

I once responded to a pedestrian struck by a car as an EMT. She was banged up but relatively alright, probably had a broken tib/fib so we start cutting her clothes... only to find she was wearing a full latex bodysuit under them. That was one of the few times I’ve been surprised.
