“…Each general practitioner must decide which drugs he or she requires in the emergency bag; antibiotics such as parenteral benzylpenicillin should be included, and erythromycin, ampicillin, and co-trimoxazole are commonly also recommended. 4 This study suggests that more needs to be done to educate general practitioners about the early use of parenteral penicillin in meningococcal infection. In the outbreak of meningococcal disease in Gloucestershire between October 1981 and March 1986 antibiotics were given before admission to hospital in only six out of 65 cases documented.'…”

“…Out of all 45 first‐aid textbooks available, we could only find information about dental trauma management in 19 texts (13–31). The other 26 books had no information concerning first‐aid procedures after dental injury (32–57). Treatment of an avulsed tooth appears in 15 texts, whereas the other books do not mention dental avulsion at all (Table 1).…”

– Background: To be able to help at the site of the oro‐facial injury, the majority of persons would turn to medical books and first‐aid books to extend their knowledge. Proper information in first‐aid textbooks and manuals should be the best way to present necessary procedures on how to act at the site of injury. The objective of this review is to report the quality of the knowledge presented in first‐aid books and manuals. Methods: We carried out a review of first‐aid international textbooks and manuals available in Medical University Libraries in Poland. The inclusion criteria were all manuals on first‐aid that were written for medical staff and lay persons, and were published between 1969 and 2007. All texts were screened for dental trauma treatment recommendations. Results: Our literature review has shown that among 45 first‐aid textbooks and manuals only 19 mention procedures for use in case of dental trauma. Of those texts, only 13 detail the storage media for an avulsed tooth until replantation. Conclusions: Current, evidence‐based, recommendations concerning first‐aid procedures after dental trauma should be incorporated in forthcoming editions of first‐aid textbooks and manuals. The guidance on procedures contained in reviewed texts is misleading.

“…[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] The approach and techniques advocated are equally applicable in the resource limited prehospital environment and during transport to hospital. Similarly, the ABCDE approach taught on standard life support courses is as applicable to acute medical emergencies as it is to resuscitation from cardiac arrest and the management of major trauma.…”
