Talk:Emergency action principles

Stylistic problems
This page makes the common mistake of addressing the reader in first person. This is highly unencyclopedic style, and just annoys. Perhaps the reader is a 90-year old with osteoporosis, for whom it would be unwise to attempt resuscitation of fellow nursing home residents for the risk of breaking her own arms.

I'm not sure that this article is really all that encyclopaedic - it is basically an instruction sheet, and that's not what an encyclopaedia is about....--John24601 10:53, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Outdated Action Principles
By international agreement between first aid trainers the principles have been changed in the last six months. This removes the need to check for pulse on a victim who is not breathing on the logic that if they are not breathing it won't be long until they have no pulse, and rescuers will often waste time looking for a pulse.

Proposed deletion
How-to is an obvious concern here: however, as demonstrated by the comments above, there are international agreements, making this not very different from therapies for any medical condition. It's like the guidelines for treating heart failure or something, but just in first aid. I'd like to see what others think: if you go to RfD, please notify WP:MED and WikiProject First Aid.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 21:22, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Verifiability
The article, as written, seems to be original research. The only mentions of "Emergency action principles" that I've found online have been related to first aid training. The phrase doesn't appear to be used for any other type of emergency response, so the current, general article appears to fail WP:VERIFICATION. I've changed the article to a redirect to Emergency and will start a similar discussion at Talk:Emergency. Feel free to replace the redirect if you feel it can be rewritten as an WP:ENCYCLOPEDIC article about EAP's in first aid. G. C. Hood (talk) 01:49, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
