The first stage of the primary survey is to assess the airway.

Total stations are the primary survey instrument used in mining surveying.

The first and key part of the assessment of patients presenting with trauma is called the primary survey.

A more detailed and rapid neurological evaluation is performed at the end of the primary survey.

The initial assessment, primary survey, and immobilization of the patient do not take more than ten minutes to achieve.

The primary survey of the movement.

If at any time during the secondary survey the patient deteriorates, another primary survey is carried out as a potential life threat may be present.

If not done in the primary survey, it should be performed as part of the more detailed neurologic examination in the secondary survey.

Less than a year from mission date, and one of their primary survey systems--and a NASA design, at that!

When the primary survey is completed, resuscitation efforts are well established, and the vital signs are normalizing, the secondary survey can begin.

His ambition was to have the primary survey of Britain completed during his term of office and the Highlands formed a stumbling block.

A primary survey is then performed, consisting of checking and treating airway, breathing, and circulation followed by an assessment on the level of consciousness.

Suffice it to say that there are still parts of the Highlands awaiting primary survey and some of the structural problems are not yet completely solved.

In 1978 the Primary Survey compiled by Her Majesty's Inspectorate criticised teachers because children were given too little autonomy.

During the primary survey a basic neurological assessment is made, known by the mnemonic AVPU (alert, verbal stimuli response, painful stimuli response, or unresponsive).

Defining curriculum as 'all the opportunities for learning provided by a school' it chose, like the Primary Survey to concentrate upon 'the formal aspects of schooling'ignoring but 'not undervaluing other educative influences'.

Bennett (1978) in commenting upon the primary survey complained about the lack of explicit theory on which observations were based, and that the theory which emerged, although respectable enough, had little empirical base.

Which was just as well, since he was slated as primary survey pilot for the Prometheus Mission, and- His humming paused suddenly, dying in mid-note, and his eyebrows crooked.

The Highlands and Islands Unit has continued the primary survey in the Great Glen area but difficulty of access and short field seasons, in addition to other commitments, have hindered progress.

Field assessments are made by two methods: "'primary survey"' (used to detect & treat life-threatening injuries) and "'secondary survey"' (used to treat non-life threatening injuries) with the following categories:

The primary survey showed that the reservoir was in perfect condition, yet communities in the vicinity could not fully benefit from it since there was no proper water distribution system-a problem common throughout Thailand.

HMNZS Resolution replaced HMNZ Ships Tui and Monowai as the Navy's primary Survey and Acoustic Research Vessel.

As per the guideline, the exercise of district planning had to start with a resource survey and preparation of a resource inventory based on secondary data as well as through primary survey for both natural and human resources.

Various commentators, therefore, have expressed concern about the lack of attention to the whole curriculum across the primary school; and the Inspectorate in its primary survey was unhappy with the extent of discussion that took place between schools to establish curriculum continuity.

The first step in the planning was to make an analysis of situation, which included preparation of district profile, resource inventory through secondary data collection and mapping techniques, and also through primary survey whenever needed, especially using RRA techniques.
