MEDIC FIRST AID's Oxygen First Aid for Emergencies Supplement Version 6.0 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.

Emergency Oxygen Topics:
Benefits and Indications for Emergency Oxygen
Integrating the Use of Emergency Oxygen
Emergency Oxygen Delivery Systems
Oxygen Delivery for Breathing Patient
Oxygen Delivery for Non-breathing Patient
Safety Considerations for Emergency Oxygen Use

What is a MEDIC FIRST AID Facilitator? 

MEDIC FIRST AID Facilitators
MEDIC FIRST AID programs include an imbedded instructional design that provides the instructor with a basic framework on how to present a class. The instructor's role is essential, but not in the classic "wise lecturer" tradition. It is more a role of "facilitation". The word "facilitate" is Latin in origin (facilis), and means "to make easy or easier." We subscribe to the notion of an instructor as helper, guide, encourager, consultant and resource. We use the title "Facilitator" to collectively represent all of our instructional levels.

There are three levels of Facilitators:
Instructors are qualified to conduct student classes in MEDIC FIRST AID courses.
Instructor Trainers are qualified to conduct Instructor and student classes.
Master Trainers are qualified to offer Instructor Trainer, Instructor and student classes.

Facilitator training classes are available to become either an Instructor or Instructor Trainer-level Facilitator. Experienced and skilled MEDIC FIRST AID Instructor Trainers are encouraged to become Master Trainers.

Becoming a MEDIC FIRST AID instructor or instructor trainer is easy. Our family of programs include CPR/first aid for OSHA compliance in the occupational setting, healthcare provider BLS/CPR, automated defibrillation, emergency oxygen, bloodborne pathogens, and pediatric CPR/first aid. The Facilitator training process allows you to purchase and teach any or all of these programs.

There are three steps to fulfilling the training requirements for becoming a MEDIC FIRST AID Instructor:

Step One
Attend and successfully complete student-level training for the programs you wish to teach. This will provide you with an understanding of the course content and the physical skills necessary to be able to perform effective emergency care. If you currently possess these skills, you've already completed Step One!

Step Two
Attend and complete a classroom training session. This session is designed to help new Instructors become skilled in presenting the instructional elements found in MEDIC FIRST AID Training Programs, including Real-time Demonstrations, Small Group Practices, Talk-through Scenarios, and Performance Evaluations.

Step Three
Establish or affiliate with a MEDIC FIRST AID Training Center. As a MEDIC FIRST AID Instructor, you may teach for multiple Training Centers, but you can be affiliated with only one Training Center that is responsible for you.

Complete the MEDIC FIRST AID Instructor application and submit it with copies of your current credentials to your Training Center Director. If you are the Training Center Director, simply make sure that you have these documents on file to present to MEDIC FIRST AID in the event of an audit. The Training Center Director must submit the application and authorization fee to MEDIC FIRST Aid
