In the case of suspected DCI You can also give small amounts of water, and I mean small,  sips at a rate of up to 1 litre per hour, BUT if your casualty has blood in their spit, assume barotrauma (burst lung) and don't give water as it will delay the inevitable surgery

We could end up listing all the info covered in the course but I'm hoping as these snippets are whetting folks appetites for the whole package
