The PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider Manual is an important component of PADI’s Emergency Oxygen training program. Review a step-by-step explanation of when and how to provide emergency oxygen. You’ll also learn about safety considerations, and how to assemble and disassemble emergency oxygen equipment.
The care-at-a-glance card is a quick reference guide to pack in your gear bag and review in case of an emergency. Though suited for divers, it is equally applicable to those who are around divers – boat crew, non-diving buddies, lifeguards, and shore staff.
Providing emergency oxygen after a dive accident may be the most significant factor contributing to a successful outcome in treating dive injuries.
While decompression illness and near-drowning diving accidents are rare, they do occur. However only 50 percent of all injured divers receive emergency oxygen in the field. Fewer still receive oxygen concentrations approaching the recommended 100 percent. This new specialty manual will improve the percentage of injured divers receiving appropriate and effective emergency oxygen treatment.
