HLTAID015 Provide Advanced Resuscitation and Oxygen Therapy

What is HLTAID015 – Provide Advanced Resuscitation and Oxygen Therapy?

HLTAID015 is a nationally accredited unit focusing on the use of advanced resuscitation equipment and techniques. It extends standard CPR training to include:

• Oxygen therapy and resuscitation devices.
• Airway management techniques.
• Use of bag-valve masks (BVMs) and adjuncts.
• Advanced incident management in high-risk workplaces.

This course is essential for participants expected to provide a higher level of emergency response.

Who Should Complete This Course?

HLTAID015 is recommended for:

• Emergency Services Officers (ESOs) and Medical Emergency Service Officers (MESOs).
• Workplace first aid officers in high-risk industries (mining, manufacturing, aviation, construction).
• Event medics and safety staff.
• Defence, law enforcement, and security personnel.
• Outdoor education, remote site staff, and adventure tourism leaders.
• Anyone required to manage oxygen therapy and advanced resuscitation equipment.

Why Advanced First Aid is Critical

Statistics: 

• Oxygen administration is one of the most common advanced interventions provided by paramedics and is critical in many emergencies (respiratory distress, trauma, cardiac arrest).
• In Australia, sudden cardiac arrest affects 25,000+ people annually — immediate CPR + advanced resuscitation dramatically increases survival.
• High-risk industries (e.g., mining, aviation) have specific obligations to provide advanced medical response capability.
• Evidence shows trained responders with access to oxygen and BVMs significantly improve patient outcomes before paramedics arrive.

HLTAID015 ensures responders are equipped to manage serious medical emergencies beyond basic first aid.
