Immediately after injury, the priority is on-site, life-saving care to stabilize the casualty. This first stage of the MEDEVAC flow focuses on rapid assessment and stabilization: controlling severe bleeding, securing the airway if needed, supporting breathing and circulation, stabilizing the spine when indicated, and triaging so the most critical cases are evacuated first.
