Print out and stash in your first aid kit with a pencil and it prompts you what info to pump out of a casually ;)
If your roughing it, Your doing it wrong ;)

Lack of planning on your part doesn't make it an emergency on mine

Excellent sheet!

Can I just check, at the bottom of page 1 it explains how to describe pulse and breathing, but then under "consciousness" it lists, within the table, A V P U, but doesn't say what those stand for. Does anybody know?

I had to look it up. :oops:

Wiki came up with the answer

The AVPU scale (an acronym from "alert, voice, pain, unresponsive") is a system by which a health care professional can measure and record a patient's responsiveness, indicating their level of consciousness.

Nice resource Yorkshire Andy very useful, another one for the work printer. As for AVPU it's really just a development of what you should do for an unconcious casualty.......
1. Hello can you hear me? Response = Alert
2. OPEN your eyes. Command = Verbal
3. Gentle pat / shake of shoulders = Painful
4. If 1 to 3 don't work then they're ......Unresponsive
= AVPU hope that helps.
Growing old is compulsory, growing up is optional........and a much overated concept in my opinion!

Give a proper pain stimulus like pinching trapezius or pushing finger tip against a pen. A shake won't wake up someone who's heavily intoxicated
