Learn the safe use and administration of emergency oxygen during medical and aquatic emergencies.
This course develops the knowledge and practical skills required to handle oxygen equipment safely, assess a patient, select an appropriate delivery device and administer emergency oxygen correctly.
Participants learn oxygen safety, cylinder and regulator setup, delivery-device selection, patient assessment, flow-rate control and practical administration during medical and aquatic emergencies.
Understand fire risk, storage requirements, handling precautions and safe operating procedures.
Inspect, assemble and test cylinders, regulators, tubing and delivery devices before use.
Assess breathing, skin colour, responsiveness and signs that may indicate oxygen support is needed.
Select the delivery method, set an appropriate flow rate and monitor the patient continuously.
By completing the program, participants will be able to prepare oxygen equipment, assess patients and administer emergency oxygen safely.
Inspect, assemble and operate oxygen cylinders, regulators and tubing using correct safety procedures.
Choose an appropriate oxygen mask or delivery method based on the patient’s condition.
