Question 1

How long should the primary survey take?

Accepted Answer

In most cases the primary survey should take no more than a minute or two, because you are looking for immediate threats to life rather than doing a full head-to-toe examination. You can then repeat the sequence and add more detail as you go, especially if the casualty's condition changes or more help arrives.
