The unit HLTAID015 – Provide Advanced Resuscitation and Oxygen Therapy – equips individuals with specialised skills and knowledge to perform advanced resuscitation techniques, including the use of oxygen therapy, in critical emergency situations. This unit is ideal for individuals in high-risk roles, such as emergency responders, lifeguards, workplace first aid officers, and healthcare professionals, who are required to manage severe medical emergencies.
Throughout the course, participants will learn how to assess emergency situations, perform advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and administer oxygen therapy using a variety of equipment, including bag-valve-mask devices and oxygen cylinders. The training covers managing airway obstructions, performing defibrillation using an automated external defibrillator (AED), and supporting patients suffering from respiratory or cardiac emergencies. Participants will also gain skills in monitoring vital signs, maintaining equipment, and ensuring a seamless handover to emergency medical personnel.
This unit is ideal for those responsible for providing an advanced level of care in situations where oxygen therapy and resuscitation are critical to patient survival.
Upon completing HLTAID015 – Provide Advanced Resuscitation and Oxygen Therapy, participants will be able to confidently deliver advanced resuscitation, including administering oxygen therapy, ensuring the best possible outcomes in life-threatening emergencies. This training is essential for anyone working in environments where immediate, advanced care is required.
