What the basic life support card is and is not
It is a reminder, and that is the whole design intent. The card is not a complete guide to recognising or managing a medical emergency, and it does not replace the need for accredited first aid training. What it does well is hold the sequence in the right order under stress, when a trained responder who has not used the skill in months needs one glance to confirm they are not skipping a step. Treat it as a prompt for someone already trained, keep a current qualification behind it, and follow the resuscitation guidance that applies where you are.
Common uses
Workplace first aid kits, staff wallets and lanyards, vehicle and site kits, and training organisations issuing a take-away prompt after a course. Add them to a first aid kit, or browse related first aid supplies at MediBC.
Basic Life Support Card FAQs
What does DRSABCD stand for?
Danger, Response, Send for help, Airway, Breathing, CPR, Defibrillation. It is the sequence taught as the basic life support action plan, and the card sets it out in order.
Does this card replace first aid training?
No, and it states so. It is a reminder only, not a complete guide to recognising or managing an emergency, and it does not remove the need for accredited training and a current qualification.
What size is the card?
95 x 57mm, which is wallet sized - close to a standard credit card, so it fits a card slot, a lanyard pouch or the inside lid of a first aid kit.
How many cards come in a pack?
These are sold as singles, which makes it straightforward to put one in each kit or issue one per staff member rather than buying a bulk pack.
Where is the best place to keep one?
Somewhere it will be found without searching - a wallet, a lanyard, or taped inside the lid of the first aid kit. A prompt card in a drawer is no use in the moment it is needed.
