First Response airway management courses in Bristol cover both basic airway management and advanced airway management, which is the medical process for checking and ensuring an open pathway to and from a patient’s lungs.

Accessing and effectively managing the patient’s airway are fundamental skills in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

After defibrillation, obtaining and securing a patients airway are essential to all other resuscitation efforts – without these, attempts at ventilation and restoring circulation will prove inadequate or useless. Unconscious patients, too, require effective airway management to help promote their recovery. It is therefore extremely important that any first aiders receive airway care training to ensure that they are able to confidently deal with a situation where a patients airways are blocked.
