DAN: Emergency oxygen provider
This course teaches you everything from recognizing injuries obtained from diving to the correct response and management as well as the handling of oxygen donation equipment.
Oxygen plays a key factor in reducing symptoms and minimizing long term effects. Used correctly, oxygen can greatly reduce already existing severe symptoms of decompression sickness and air embolism at the scene. Together with adequate management of an emergency situation, oxygen donation can make the difference between life and death, between full recovery and long-term disabilities.
