Cards to support you
Each card carries the triage identification, the moulage instructions and the actor behaviour cues for one injury. Assign one to each casualty actor during simulation support.
After completing day one, the Support Cards matched to it give you a structured reference for the techniques you have practised. Use them to consolidate your skills between sessions and maintain consistency when you apply these effects in your own exercises.
