Thank makes sense.

I'm still on the look out. I'm going to go down to my local red cross here (its the british version) and see what they have.

Worst case, I think i'll be making my own from a mixture of sources. I wonder if anyone else would be interested?

Walden was bought out by or merged with Borders, about 18 months ago or so. I think the name might have been snagged up by someone already, but try bordersstores.com for the combined company.

As a former EMT, I am not a real fan of "flash cards" for first aid. I guess that they are OK if you have a tummy ache and wonder what might have caused it, but for real emergency aid you usually don't have time to search thru the cards to find out where the pressure point is to stop arterial bleeding (assuming that direct pressure hasn't worked). You have to KNOW what to do, NOW. A small reference book for illnesses is another story...

I think he has something more in mind of A-B-C (probably just showed how old my training is with that) for people who don't have a clue.

I've been thinking about this. The problem I see is, if you can give it to them, you can probably work on yourself. Or they are picking your pocket and looking for the money while you can't fight back.

What is the current protocol for CPR? Is it 2/30 or did it change? (breaths to compressions)

Teacher

Still 2/30, but at the rate of 100 compressions/minute. Depth of compressions is critical to provide effective CPR.

There are some cards at this site that you might be looking for.
It's called a Brunton pocket survival kit

Doug evaled the Brunton card a few years back.

Less than overwhelming data, you can see most of it there.

Ironraven,
Thanks for the heads up on the Brunton cards.
