MEDIC FIRST AID's Oxygen First Aid for Emergencies 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.
