Description
Emergency Use of Medical Oxygen training is beneficial for First Aid | CPR AED and/or BLS providers who may find themselves treating hypoxia in emergency situations such as the depressurization of an aircraft cabin,Â
decompression illness in scuba divers, drowning, carbon monoxide poisoning, or other critical illnesses and injuries, including cardiac arrest. This training makes use of updated 2020 Guidelines and is useful for those who may find themselves treating hypoxia in emergency situations.
Our First Aid | CPR AED and BLS training are made better with the addition of HSI Emergency Use of Medical Oxygen as a supplement.
The HSI Emergency Use of Medical Oxygen has been evaluated and given the go-ahead by the HSI Advisory Council after receiving approval from the HSI Medical Advisory Board. It complies with the American Heart Association’s (AHA) 2020 Guidelines Update for CPR and ECC as well as the AHA’s yearly Guidelines Update and includes the most recent findings in resuscitation research and treatment recommendations released by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR). In addition, it reflects the guidelines issued by ILCOR.
- Assess for oxygen deficiency in an emergency situation
- Observe the signs and symptoms of mild, moderate, and severe hypoxia
- Correctly use a pulse oximeter
- Set up an emergency medical oxygen delivery system and monitor SpO2
- Help responsive and unresponsive persons
- Provide medical oxygen in an emergency to an adult/child and infant using an appropriate bag-mask device (BLS providers only)
The Emergency Use of Medical Oxygen course is beneficial for both medical and non-medical personnel who may need to administer oxygen therapy in an emergency.
This course provides physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, paramedics, and emergency medical technicians with the knowledge and skills necessary to treat hypoxia in emergency situations. It provides them with the instruments necessary to effectively respond to events such as cabin depressurization, scuba diving accidents, drowning incidents, carbon monoxide poisoning, and cardiac arrest.
This course is also beneficial for non-medical individuals who may be required to complete oxygen safety training for their workplace. Lifeguards, manufacturing personnel, and industrial employees are examples of individuals who may encounter situations requiring the use of medical oxygen.
Participants acquire a thorough understanding of oxygen therapy, including its indications and contraindications, proper assessment of oxygen requirements, and monitoring for efficacy and safety, by completing this course. Additionally, the training may include emergency procedures such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and airway obstruction management, enhancing the skills of both medical and non-medical individuals.
Ultimately, this course aims to equip a diverse spectrum of individuals, regardless of their medical background, to respond confidently and effectively in emergency situations involving the use of medical oxygen.
