Emergency Oxygen Supplement

MEDIC FIRST AID's Oxygen First Aid for Emergencies Supplement Version 6.0 is designed to give students the knowledge and skills necessary to provide emergency oxygen to a suddenly ill or injured patient until more advanced medical help can be obtained.

Supplying emergency oxygen helps meet the patient’s critical need for oxygen. When illness or injury reduces the body’s ability to process oxygen, shock will soon occur, unless the effects of the decreased amount of oxygen in the blood can be reversed. Providing supplemental oxygen early in the emergency can make a vital difference.

Course topics include:

• Benefits and Indications for Emergency Oxygen
• Integrating the Use of Emergency Oxygen
• Emergency Oxygen Delivery Systems
• Oxygen Delivery for Breathing Patient
• Oxygen Delivery for Nonbreathing Patient
• Safety Considerations for Emergency Oxygen Use
