HLTAID015 Provide advanced resuscitation and oxygen therapy

It is a requirement of the First Aid in the Workplace Code of Practice for work environments which have a greater risk of injury and illness due to the nature of work being carried out, and the nature of the hazards at the workplace, to provide additional competencies suitable for high risk workplaces arrangements.

This course applies to a range of industries where first aiders need to be trained in the use of specialised equipment in
the provision of resuscitation in line with the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines, including defibrillators, medical oxygen and advanced airway management devices.

It is relevant for designated first aiders, especially those working in construction, manufacturing, mining or any occupation involving remote or hazardous work, and can be contextualised to suit your specific requirements.

Entry Requirements:

Learners must hold a current dated HLTAID011 Provide First Aid certificate (supplemented by HLTAID009 -12 monthly refresher training).  Participants will need the ability to meet the physical demands of providing first aid.  Participants in-class will also need to provide an accurate verbal and written report of the incident, during simulated emergency scenario's.  Prior to the start of face-to-face practical training, there may be a short knowledge quiz to check language, literacy and numeracy skills, as required.  These are described further here in the Foundation Skill Guide extract.

Our First Aid educator observes the participants application of skills and knowledge throughout the face to face practical session, during simulated emergency scenarios, contextualised to the candidate's workplace/community settings, and other skill stations.  The timeframe enables learners to question and reflect on activities performed during the learning session, and integrate own workplace materials into the session activities.

The CPR assessment requires you to perform at least 6 minutes minutes of CPR on an adult resuscitation manikin (on the floor), individually and as a team, using an AED and bag-valve-mask ventilation, on the floor.  You will also perform at least 2 minutes minutes of CPR on an infant resuscitation manikin on a firm surface.  You will be recording your administration of oxygen therapy to an conscious casualty, changes to vital signs using a Pulse Oximeter, as well as maintenance of resuscitation equipment and application of an oropharyngeal (Guedel) airway adjunct, and suction equipment during resus scenario's. You will also be required to manage your casualty, and fill out a First Aid treatment form & Incident, Accident Illness record during a simulated accident.

You will also manage a life-threatening bleed using both a haemostatic dressing and tourniquet, on a simulated arm with simulated blood.

You will be answering knowledge questions verbally, and recording answers in writing, at various times during training, and will have an opportunity to discuss answers and correct your answers during revision and reflection on performance. 

We send your emails and reminder sms messages to your nominated mobile and email contact (as you provide in your enrolment form), please ensure you check your junk and spam email folders.
