Overview of the citizenAID Pocket Guide
The pocket guide consists of two sides, each covering different aspects of emergency response:

- Side 2: Treatment procedures, including stopping bleeding, using tourniquets and the Tourni-Key, addressing thermal and acid burns, and handing over to emergency medical services.
Each section is colour-coded for easy navigation and comprehension.
Using the SLIDE Acronym
The guide also introduces the SLIDE acronym, which helps you remember the essential information to relay to emergency medical services.
