Divers
Alert Network (DAN) - Training & Courses Offered
Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving
Injuries
 As a recreational diver, you
can receive training to provide vital first aid that can make a
difference to a scuba diver with decompression illness. The DAN Oxygen
Provider Course provides entry-level training in the recognition and
management of possible diving-related injuries using emergency oxygen
first aid.
|
Oxygen First Aid for Aquatic
Emergencies
 This
course trains non-divers and professional rescuers (such as
lifeguards) to recognize near-drowning / submersion incidents and other
aquatic medical emergencies and to provide basic life support including
the use of oxygen first aid.
|
Advanced Oxygen First Aid for
Scuba Diving Injuries
 This
advanced-level program is designed to train existing DAN Oxygen
Providers to use the MTV-100 or a Bag Valve Mask while providing care
for a non-breathing injured diver.
|
First Aid for Hazardous
Marine Life Injuries
 Serious
hazardous marine life injuries are rare, but most divers
experience minor discomfort from unintentional encounters with fire
coral, jellyfish and other marine creatures. This course teaches
divers to minimize these injuries
and reduce diver discomfort and pain.
|
Automated External
Defibrillators for Scuba Diving
 More
than 10 percent of all dive fatalities are actually caused by
cardiovascular disease, according to DAN dive accident and fatality
statistics. This course teaches divers and other interested parties to
provide care for sudden cardiac arrest including the use of an
automated external defibrillator (AEDs).
|
Automated External
Defibrillators for Aquatic Emergencies
 When
a person drowns, they may or may not inhale water. They normally
enter cardiac arrest because of the inability to breathe. This course
teaches interested parties to provide care for cardiac arrest by using
an automated external defibrillator (AED).
|
Basic Life Support for Dive
Professionals
 The
remote nature of dive accidents, whether a few hours from shore or
days from civilization, frequently requires more advanced levels of
care than are offered by traditional or entry-level CPR programs.
|
Remote Emergency Medical
Oxygen (REMO 2 T)
 The
DAN Remote Emergency Medical Oxygen (REMO 2 T) system module
supplements the DAN Oxygen First Aid in Scuba Diving Injuries course.
Based on medical closed-circuit oxygen rebreather technology, the REMO
2 T device provides injured divers with high concentrations of
emergency oxygen for extended periods. This training course instructs
the Oxygen Provider in the use of DAN's new REMO 2 T system.
|
On-Site Neurological
Assessment for Divers
 Learn
how to conduct a neurological assessment on a potentially injured
diver in this course. The information gained in this assessment can
help convince a diver of the need for oxygen first aid, and help a dive
physician determine the proper treatment.
|
Diving Emergency Management
Provider Program
 Learn the knowledge and
skills from several courses into one single
approach to dive emergency management.
|
