Will oxygen through a non-rebreather help someone who has "blacked out"?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
O2 therapy: Is quite dramatic...Plays well on tv. Oxygen may help conditions that are caused by hypoxia, but 'blackouts' are caused by seizures or heart rhythm irregularities. Even in codes, establishing an airway and ventilating are more critical than the very high o2 concentrations of a non-re-breather mask.
