 This module,
Advanced Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries, is
an advanced-level program that provides additional training
for those individuals who have successfully completed the
DAN Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries course within
the past year (12 months). It is designed to train DAN Oxygen
Providers to use the MTV-100 or a Bag Valve Mask (BVM) while
providing care for a non-breathing injured diver and activating
the local emergency medical services (EMS) and / or arranging
for evacuation to the nearest available medical facility.
- Rescue breathing with supplemental oxygen delivers upwards
of 50 percent inspired oxygen when performed correctly.
However, using an MTV-100 or Bag Valve Mask with oxygen
can deliver nearly 100 percent inspired oxygen to a non-breathing
injured diver.
- When supplemental oxygen is not available, a Bag Valve
Mask can deliver 21 percent oxygen as compared to 16 percent
with rescue breathing without supplemental oxygen. The
MTV-100 does not work without an oxygen supply.
This is not a stand-alone program. It is intended to train
current DAN Oxygen Providers to administer oxygen using
advanced-level skills.

 The
MTV-100 is an Oxygen-Powered Manually Triggered Device that
may be attached to a portable, pressure-regulated oxygen
cylinder or a central oxygen source. It is designed to deliver
100% oxygen to a breathing or nonbreathing person and may
be used with a mask, endotracheal tube, or tracheotomy tube.
The rescuer may manually inflate lungs by depressing the
button located on top of the device or it may be used like
a standard Demand Valve. The MTV-100 is equiped with a secondary
pressure relief valve to safely manage pressure conditions.
SPECIAL NOTE: This type of device requires special training
to use and has been classified as "Indeterminate" by the
American Heart Association 2000 Guidelines.
