  Oxygen first aid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oxygen first aid or oxygen administration is a first aid treatment for many medical emergencies involving the organs of respiration and circulation such as heart attack, drowning, carbon monoxide poisoning, decompression illness, lung barotrauma and gas embolism.
The first aid treatment benefits the patient by increasing the supply of oxygen to the body and improving the delivery of oxygen to organs that may have been starved of oxygen during the medical crisis.
Oxygen, as a first aid treatment, should not be given to children or people suffering from certain long-term lung conditions without proper medical supervision.
