Emergency Oxygen Provider

First aid with emergency oxygen is useful or necessary as a treatment for many injuries, diseases and intoxications that interfere with oxygen reaching the blood and tissues. For recreational scuba divers, emergency oxygen is the primary first aid given to individuals suffering from a near drowning or decompression illness (lung over expansion injury or decompression sickness). Providing emergency oxygen has become the standard practice for treating injured scuba divers since it provides oxygen to starved tissues and aids in bubble reduction. Having emergency oxygen available immediately at a dive location is especially important to divers suffering from these maladies. Along with availability of oxygen at a dive site, first aid responders must know how to provide oxygen in an emergency.

The Emergency Oxygen Provider Course looks at topics such as:
*Use of Emergency Oxygen
*Diving Injuries
*Emergency Oxygen Equipment
*Safety Considerations when using oxygen
*Maintaining Emergency Oxygen Equipment

Plus, there is hands on use of the equipment as part of the skills portion of the course.
