Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line

CPR learning

front 1

Abrasion

back 1

a superficial, partial-thickness skin wound caused by scraping or friction, often resulting in minor bleeding and pain.

front 2

Automated external defibrillator (AED)

back 2

a portable, lightweight, battery-operated device that analyzes a person's heart rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest and, if necessary, delivers an electric shock to restore a normal heartbeat

front 3

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

back 3

a life-threatening condition caused by inhaling CO, an invisible, odorless, and tasteless gas produced by incomplete combustion

front 4

Cardiac Arrest

back 4

a, often fatal, medical emergency where the heart abruptly stops beating due to electrical malfunctions, causing immediate collapse, loss of consciousness, and no pulse

front 5

Cardiac Chain of Survival

back 5

a series of 6 critical, sequential actions that maximize survival rates for cardiac arrest

front 6

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)

back 6

(CPR) is an emergency procedure combining chest compressions (100–120 per minute) and rescue breaths to manually circulate oxygenated blood when a person’s heart stops. It is critical for treating cardiac arrest. Key steps include calling 911, pushing hard and fast in the center of the chest, and using an AED if available.

front 7

Chest Compressions

back 7

a life-saving, manual technique used during CPR to pump blood to a person’s brain and heart when their heart has stopped beating

front 8

Consent

back 8

Consent is an informed, voluntary, and revocable agreement to participate in specific sexual activity, defined by the "yes means yes" principle. It requires clear communication, is not assumed by silence, and can be withdrawn at any time. Key components include being conscious, sober, and free from coercion

front 9

Defibrillation

back 9

a life-saving procedure that delivers a controlled electrical shock to the heart to correct dangerous, chaotic rhythms (ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia) during cardiac arrest

front 10

Diabetic Emergency

back 10

occurs when blood sugar is critically high (hyperglycemia/DKA) or low (hypoglycemia/insulin shock), causing severe confusion, dizziness, shakiness, or unconsciousness

front 11

first ade

back 11

the immediate, temporary care given to an ill or injured person to preserve life, prevent worsening conditions, and promote recovery until professional medical help arrives.

front 12

Good Samaritan Laws

back 12

Good Samaritan laws provide legal immunity to individuals who voluntarily offer reasonable assistance to those in emergency, accident, or overdose situations, protecting them from civil liability for ordinary negligence. These laws aim to encourage bystanders to help in emergencies without fear of being sued or prosecuted

front 13

Heimlich Maneuver

back 13

a life-saving, highly effective technique to clear a blocked airway by applying sharp, upward thrusts just above the navel

front 14

Laceration

back 14

a torn or jagged wound that penetrates the skin, often caused by blunt trauma or sharp objects

front 15

Puncture

back 15

A puncture wound is a deep, narrow wound, often deeper than it is wide, caused by a sharp, pointed object like a nail or tooth piercing the skin

front 16

Rescue Breaths

back 16

orces air into the lungs of a non-breathing person with a pulse, usually 1 breath every 5-6 seconds for adults (10-12 per minute) or 1 every 2-3 seconds for children

front 17

Respiratory Arrest

back 17

a life-threatening emergency where breathing stops completely, but a pulse is still present, usually requiring immediate CPR or rescue breathing to prevent cardiac arrest and brain damage

front 18

Signals of a Heart Attack

back 18

  • Chest pain that may feel like pressure, tightness, pain, squeezing or aching.
  • Pain or discomfort that spreads to the shoulder, arm, back, neck, jaw, teeth or sometimes the upper belly.
  • Cold sweat.
  • Fatigue.
  • Heartburn or indigestion.
  • Lightheadedness or sudden dizziness.
  • Nausea.
  • Shortness of breath.

front 19

Seizures

back 19

sudden, uncontrolled bursts of electrical activity in the brain that cause physical, sensory, or mental changes, ranging from staring spells to violent convulsions

front 20

Shock

back 20

a life-threatening medical emergency caused by inadequate blood flow and oxygen delivery to tissues and organs, resulting in potential organ damage or death

front 21

Tourniquets

back 21

ts are specialized, life-saving devices used to stop severe, life-threatening bleeding from limbs (arms and legs) by compressing blood vessels
