I've been asked to give a short seminar on water/diving accidents (specifically DCS and AGE) for my sisters EMT class which she is teaching. I'm not asking for people to do my work/research for me, I think I can pretty well handle the information/theory, etc. What I would like is suggestions on is how to convince the EMT's that 100% O2 is significantly better than the partial rebreather O2 that most EMT/Ambulance units provide. Another point: If there is 100% O2 avail at the accident site (provided by the divers), will the ambulance people refuse to use it due to increased liability? (Liable for using something that is not theirs and they have no first hand experience with). Any suggestions on that, or for content would be appreciated. Use you own judgement, reply in private or to the list. I have 20 mins.
