=== Other mentionable protocols ===
Some other known protocols that could be mentioned in many contexts (in alphabetical order):

'''AMEGA protocol'''

{{anchor|AMEGA}}It is similar to the European protocol, because it also has a wider range<ref>Furst, J., [https://web.archive.org/web/20231022015347/http://firstaidforfree.com/what-does-amega-stand-for-in-first-aid/ What does AMEGA stand for in first aid?], updated 12 July 2019, accessed 24 January 2022</ref> than the common csABCDE (or ABCDE) protocol, and includes other tasks that are previous to the first aid techniques themselves. The order of the steps is changed, and the experience with it is lesser, but it adds the idea of a posterior 'aftermath' phase.

The mnemonic AMEGA refers to:

* ''Assess'' the situation, looking for risks.
* ''Make safe'' the situation, after having identified the risks.
* ''Emergency aid''. Performing the first aid practices.
* ''Get help''. Asking for emergency help to medical services and bystanders.
* ''Aftermath''. The aftermath tasks include recording and reporting, continued care of patients and the welfare of responders and the replacement of used first aid kit elements.
'''ATLS and BATLS protocols'''{{See also|Advanced trauma life support|BATLS}}
{{anchor|ATLS and BATLS}}They are basically the common [[First aid#ABCDE and cAsBCDE protocol|ABCDE and csABCDE protocol]], but focusing in particular aspects.

The ATLS (Advanced Trauma Life Support) version<ref name=":0" /> was developed by the American College of Surgeons, focusing in the particular needs of trauma and specifically in the spinal injuries. And the BATLS (Battlefield Advanced Trauma Life Support) version<ref name=":1" /> is an improvement for the British Army that added the concept of 'catastrophic bleeding'.

The preference for one or another among all these protocols can depend on the context and the audience.

==== Check, Call and Care protocol ====
{{anchor|Check, Call and Care}}It comes from Red Cross<ref>{{Cite web |last=American Red Cross |title=Check, Call, Care: 3 Emergency Actions Steps to Take to Save Lives |url=http://redcross.org/take-a-class/resources/articles/the-three-cs-of-first-aid-check-call-care|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241111144154/http://redcross.org/take-a-class/resources/articles/the-three-cs-of-first-aid-check-call-care |archive-date=November 11, 2024 }}</ref> and, as the European protocol, has a wider range than the common csABCDE (ABCDE) method. So it could be seen as a simplification of the European protocol, and, especially, easier to remember as a guide for most of cases.

It mentions the following steps:

* ''Check'' the scene for safety of the rescuer and others, and check the patient's condition.
* ''Call'' to emergency medical services.
* ''Care'' the patient.

==== SAFE-POINT protocol ====
{{anchor|SAFE-POINT}}Another European protocol, which appeared in the field of construction of Czech Republic to react to any emergence .<ref>{{Cite web |last=safe-point.cz |title=SAFE-Point: 6 steps to save life |url=http://safe-point.cz/index.php/6-kroku-k-zachrane-zivota-2/ |language=Czech}}</ref>

Their steps (which have not any mnemonic) are:

* ''Safety of the rescuers.''
* ''Calling'' to emergency telephone number.
* ''Bleeding'': treating the massive bleedings.
* ''Freeing the airways''.
* ''Resuscitation'': applying cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
* ''Keeping warm'' to the patient.
