        CLOSING: If convulsions and brain injury are to be prevented, the
        diazepam injection (CANA) must be given prior to the onset of
        convulsions as buddy-aid. If a casualty requires all three sets of
        Mark 1 autoinjections, then you should immediately also administer the
        CANA autoinjection.
