About The Course

Oxygen therapy is a vital first aid intervention that can sustain life during respiratory emergencies. It is used to treat individuals with breathing difficulties, low oxygen saturation, or conditions like shock and cardiac arrest. This course provides a solid foundation for first aiders, nurses, and healthcare support staff to understand the safe administration of oxygen, recognise when it is needed, and respond quickly and effectively in emergencies.

Through case-based learning, learners will explore the properties of oxygen, various delivery devices, flow rate settings, monitoring techniques, and post-treatment care. Emphasis is placed on safety, patient comfort, and compliance with first aid protocols.
