How to use this tool:

• Test Yourself: Read the question on the front of the card and try to verbalise the full answer before clicking.
• Focus on the “Why”: Understanding the reason behind a step (like why we tilt the head back to open an airway) helps you remember it under pressure.
• Repeat Frequently: Muscle memory isn’t just for your hands; it’s for your mind. Regular review ensures that when adrenaline spikes, your training takes over.
