Advanced Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving
Injuries
This module, Advanced Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries, is an
advanced-level program that provides additional training for those
individuals who have successfully completed the DAN Oxygen First Aid for
Scuba Diving Injuries course within the past year (12 months). It is
designed to train DAN Oxygen Providers to use the MTV-100 or a Bag Valve
Mask (BVM) while providing care for a non-breathing injured diver and
activating the local emergency medical services (EMS) and / or arranging
for evacuation to the nearest available medical facility.
- Rescue breathing with supplemental oxygen delivers upwards
of 50 percent inspired oxygen when performed correctly. However,
using an MTV-100 or Bag Valve Mask with oxygen can deliver
nearly 100 percent inspired oxygen to a non-breathing injured
diver.
- When supplemental oxygen is not available, a Bag Valve Mask
can deliver 21 percent oxygen as compared to 16 percent with
rescue breathing without supplemental oxygen. The MTV-100 does
not work without an oxygen supply.
This is not a stand-alone program. It is intended to train current DAN
Oxygen Providers to administer oxygen using advanced-level skills.
