Candidates will also learn indications, contraindications and cautions for nitrous oxide and oxygen commonly referred to as Entonox. It’s a prehospital inhaled pain-relieving gas. 

Successful candidates will leave with the skills, knowledge and competencies needed to safely administer prompt and effective medical gases in an emergency.

    ∙ Health and safety principles for the use
