// Medical Gases and Penthrox®

 

Our medical gases courses cover Oxygen administration and pain relief gases.

 

Penthrox® training is a separate course which covers the safe use of Penthrox (the 'Green Whistle'), an inhalation device through which the patient receives pain-relieving medication. Widely used in the southern hemisphere, this product has advantages over entonox regarding weight and that it does not come in a  pressurised cylinder.
