Knowing what to do in the first minutes of an emergency is a practical skill, and this manual sets out the recognised steps in a form that can be found quickly under pressure.
The book is organised by situation, so procedures for breathing difficulty, bleeding, burns, fractures and unconsciousness can be located without hunting through continuous text. Step sequences are illustrated and numbered so a reader can follow along while treating someone, and the flexibound binding lies flat and stands up to being kept in a car, a workplace cupboard or a kit bag. It is a reference for immediate care and not a substitute for medical treatment; call emergency services and consult a qualified professional whenever a situation is serious or unclear.
Details that matter:
• 288 pages in a flexibound binding built for repeated handling
• Illustrated, numbered step sequences for common emergencies
• Arranged by type of injury or condition for fast lookup
• Sections on kit contents and assessing a casualty
