The one-day Oxygen Administration course includes a mix of theory and practical sessions. You will learn how to give basic life support as a solo rescuer or two-person team, with or without a pocket mask. You will refresh your knowledge of the diving-related injuries burst lung, decompression illness, drowning, carbon monoxide poisoning and shock and find out how they benefit from oxygen first aid.
Practical skills include casualty assessment and the use of oxygen administration equipment for breathing and non-breathing casualties. The skills practice will be on a manikin.
There is a practical and theory assessment at the end of the course.
On this combined SDC you'll also learn how to use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). The two-and-a-half-hour course explains what an AED is and gives you experience using an AED in a training environment. Through a structured range of scenarios, you will receive plenty of hands-on practice of when and how to use an AED.
To enrol on the Oxygen Administration course you must already be a minimum of BSAC Ocean Diver (or have equivalent certification from another recognised training agency). The course may also be open to others at the discretion of the BSAC Safety and Rescue Skills Chief Examiner.
