First Aid Guide - Medical Quick Reference Guide by Permacharts

I was recently at the gym and a young man suddenly collapsed off an exercise bike near me and fell to the floor after hitting the equipment on the way down. I was shocked that the guy next to him screamed but no one did anything-so I ran over. Its been forty YEARS since I had any first aid and emergency training-but I quickly realized, this is an emergency. Young employee (about 20 years old also) ran over and went white. I could see he was terrified. I did all the first aid basics, determined the young man fainted, asked where the defibrillator was in case I needed it and had the employee dial 911 and bring electrolyte drink as the “patient” came to. The patient turned out to be fine but I realized-I need to re-study emergency basics and how to perform cpr and use a defibrillator (they have instructions but you do not want to be learning that on the fly in a panic situation). I then watched a bunch of tutorial videos to refresh my knowledge and keep this laminated card where I look at it routinely. Everyone thinks they know how to do something but panic or bystanders screaming can delay one’s thinking speed-so the best practice is to memorize the info. and go over it repeatedly so when the time comes-you can save a life.

Good quality.

Good information on what it covers. Just wished it would cover a bit more. It's pretty basic.

I have this on the inside, top of my medical bag.

Easy to read and place in med kit

I need pictures to decipher any written information and this one has it.

Works great

Great for studying in healthcare

Purchased these for all of our first aiders and first aid rooms at work for quick reference. Sturdy and contains all pertinent information at a quick glance. Excellent!
