C stands for Circulation but it can be interchanged with Compressions.
ABC for resuscitation initially stands for Airway, Breathing, and Circulation. However, Circulation can be interchanged with Compressions because, in the event of resuscitating a non-breathing patient, chest compression must be performed.
Chest Compressions is an effective artificial circulation performed during first aid CPR.Step-by-step explanation:

The most widespread signifier for CPR is “ABC”. The “A” stands for airway, “B” stands for respiratory, and “C” stands either for circulation or compressions. This signifier has been the cornerstone to CPR instruction and CPR courses for many years. However, the signifier “ABCD” has continually appeared in conversations and discussions involving cpr.owever, the standard definition to the signifier “ABC” is Airway, respiratory and CIRCULATION.

Deadly
trauma is an element of the cardiovascular system and by that definition, once shared with “ABC”, “D” will be created a part of “ABC” to form “ABCD”. In alternative words, deadly trauma is an element of circulation and is instantly life-threatening thus it ought to be “ABCD.”
