Basic & Advanced Airway Management Courses
First Response airway management courses in Bristol cover both basic airway management and advanced airway management, which is the medical process for checking and ensuring an open pathway to and from a patient's lungs. First Response airway management courses will also cover the risks of aspiration and how to reduce them for the patient. Airway management is a key factor for when considering other symptoms such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation and anaesthesia for example.
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.
