This A6 Reference Card is an essential tool designed for first responders during major incidents.
Here are its key features:
Double-Sided Design:
One side outlines a triage algorithm, helping allocate priorities (P1, P2, P3, or Not Breathing).
The other side features the METHANE reporting tool.
Guides responders through quick decisions based on incident characteristics & prioritises casualties efficiently (P1, P2, P3) & identifies those who need immediate attention.
For a flow chart on managing severe bleeding see our Bleed Control Clinical Aide.
METHANE Model:
Provides structure for managing multi-agency or major incidents:
M: Major incident
E: Exact location
T: Type of incident
H: Hazardous
A: Access
N: Number of casualties
E: Emergency services Required
Durable and Practical:
Laminated for durability.
