Skills Station Six
Supplemental Oxygen Administration
This station is designed to test your
ability to correctly assemble the equipment
needed to administer supplemental oxygen in
the prehospital setting. This is an
isolated skills test. You will be
required to assemble an oxygen tank and
regulator and administer oxygen to the
patient using a nonrebreather mask.
Because the patient cannot tolerate the
mask, at this point, you will be instructed
to discontinue oxygen administration by the
nonrebreather mask and start oxygen
administration using a nasal cannula.
Once you have initiated oxygen
administration using a nasal cannula, you
will be instructed to discontinue oxygen
administration completely.
You have (5) five minutes to complete
this skill station.
