I'd always thought that ABC that it had come out of CPR algorithms; surprised to hear that it is much earlier than that. Its a wonderful mnemonic  I wonder who thought of it and when?

First, I do believe that ABC of resuscitation existed long before Dr. Peter 
 Safar, although he did make significant contributions.    LONG  before .   
   As I reacall the D and E, was an  outgrowth of the ATLS committee of the 
ACS during the late 1980s.

Assuming the ABC mnemonic was coined by Peter Safar who  suggested D (di
sability) and E (Exposure) in the ABCDE protocol for  trauma?
