In the assessment of injuries in the sports context, there are three step-by-step mnemonic procedures that are use and overlap with each other.

ANGER Check for any dangers to yourself, any bystanders, and the injured person. Do not put yourself in harm's way to assist another person. Check whether the injured person is ESPONSE conscious. Communicate in a loud voice. If there is a response, proceed to STOP. If there is no response, proceed through SABCD. If the situation calls for emergency services, send/shout/summon someone for help. Dial emergency hotline and answer the operator's questions. END FOR HELP

Perform a head tilt-chin lift to open their IRWAY airway. Open the person's mouth. If the person’s mouth is clear, tilt their head gently back and check for breathing. If the person’s mouth is not clear, place the person on their side, open their mouth and clear any obstructions, then tilt the head back and check for breathing. REATHING Check for breathing by looking for chest movements, listening, and feeling for breaths. If the person is unconscious but breathing, turn them onto their side, carefully ensuring that you keep their head, neck, and spine in alignment. If the person is unconscious and not breathing, PR make sure they are flat on their back, place the heel of one hand in the center of the person's chest and your other hand on top. Press down firmly to compress 1/3 of the person's chest depth. Do this 30 times and give 2 breaths (lift the chin, pinch nostrils, blow firmly into their mouth) at 5 repetitions every 2 minutes. Do this until other medical authorities arrive or the injured person responds.

For an unconscious person who is not breathing, apply an automated external defibrillator (AED), if one is available. Follow the instructions and voice prompts. If the person responds to defibrillation, turn them onto their side and tilt their head to maintain their airway. If the patient is a child, make sure the AED is suitable to use on a minor.
