Follow ABC. Decreased level of consciousness means he cannot protect his airway, and altered mental status is the most common indication for intubation in trauma. So: intubate, then treat circulation with IV fluids, then reassess.
- FAST, CT or laparotomy come only after the airway is secured.
- CT is reserved for stable patients.
