This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to use specialised equipment in the provision of resuscitation and oxygen therapy in line with the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines.

This unit applies to persons who may be required to use specialised equipment to provide resuscitation or oxygen therapy in a range of complex situations, including community and workplace settings.

Successful completion of this course will provide trainees with the knowledge and skills to be able to provide advanced resuscitation and oxygen therapy techniques in the workplace. It provides background knowledge of the causes, symptoms and the effects of injuries, as well as emergency treatment.
