Oxygen Therapy

 

If a victim cannot exchange air all resuscitation efforts are useless.

Aggressive airway management on the part of the rescuer is of extreme importance. Oxygen (O2), a form of medication if properly used, is an excellent tool in combating shock. Annual re-certification with CPR is required to maintain current standards.
