Re: Free downloadable Casualty card:
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?

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.

I *should* have looked it up. Ta muchly Re: Free downloadable Casualty card:
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 intoxicatedMad Medic wrote:Nice resource Yorkshire Andy very useful, another one for the work printer.
