An A-E, or ABCDE, assessment is a method of assessing and stabilising a patient in a stepwise approach - in order of priority of the things that will cause the most harm. You can perform an A-E assessment on any unwell or deteriorating patient to help you ascertain what’s going on.
It's important for all healthcare workers to have an understanding of how to identify a patient that is in cardiac arrest, or at risk of imminent cardiac arrest, using the A-E assessment approach. You should then be able to call for support from the cardiac arrest team and perform CPR to begin resuscitation of a patient while waiting for help to arrive.
Cardiac arrest is a sudden irregularity/loss of heart function, resulting in a loss of cardiac output. This requires resuscitation by following the Advanced Life Support Algorithm. You can learn more about resuscitation, including chest compressions, airway management, rhythm recognition and defibrillation in our Cardiac Arrest article.
