How to use these references

These are quick refreshers, not textbooks. Each one-pager is built to be scanned at the point of care, printed for a clipboard or badge, and used to orient a conversation — never to replace clinician judgment, local protocols, or current guideline review.

  • Print or save a sheet before clinic or a shift for fast lookups.
  • Orient quickly with “When to worry,” red flags, and escalation triggers.
  • Jump to a tool when you need a calculator — references cross-link to them.
  • Verify before acting — check the “Sources to verify” on each sheet.
