• Secondary assessment is the detail head-to-toes assessment to look


for any other injuries that may not be critical. It should be proceed
only when the life threatening conditions or injuries has been
stabilized, or if there are none present.

• Sometimes there could be hidden life threatening injuries which can


only be found when performing the secondary assessment.
