Basic and Advanced Airway Care

Accessing and effectively managing the patient's airway are fundamental skills in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.

After defibrillation, obtaining and securing a patients airway are essential to all other resuscitation efforts - without these, attempts at ventilation and restoring circulation will prove inadequate or useless. Unconscious patients, too, require effective airway management to help promote their recovery. It is therefore extremely important that any first aiders receive airway care training to ensure that they are able to confidently deal with a situation where a patients airways are blocked.

• Patient Positioning
• Managing the Blocked Airway
• Suction
• Head Tilt Chin Lift, Jaw Thrust
• Guedel Airway
• Laryngeal Mask
• Intubation

The Basic and Advanced Airway Care training courses can be attended at either first aid training in Bristol or Weston Super Mare centres.

CPR training and Defibrillation training courses are also extremely important, and provide first aiders with the skills and confidence to deal with any related emergencies.
