Oxygen for First Aid Course Details
Oxygen for First Aid
Description:
This is not an HSE approved course and must be carried out by an approved instructor. This course is aimed at anyone who requires a course in oxygen for first aid. The certificate is valid for 3 years and a recommended annual refresher can be done online.
This course covers the basics of how to deliver oxygen in a first aid emergency. Oxygen within first aid by trained rescuers can provide an effective way of saving a life or just promoting recovery. On this course you will learn the basics of how to assemble, use and disassemble an oxygen kit. Oxygen is simple skill but there are safety concerns, and these are also covered in full on the course.
Added to the course also is the use of bag valve masks (BVM) to deliver breaths without direct mouth contact as well as being able to deliver the breaths using 100% oxygen. This course does not cover medical gasses training nor the use of automatic or demand systems. We do not have an online course in Oxygen at the moment.
