So I am applying for EMT-B reciprocity in Michigan; have my Illinois license, passed the NREMT. I sent the out-of-state verification form to the IDPH, and they neglected to check off the section that verifies my training on assisting with albuterol, EpiPen and the use of the combitube.

I know we were trained on all of these things, but I can't remember if combitube is something we are allowed to do in Illinois - they showed us how to intubate too, but obviously basics can't do that. Is combitube part of the Illinois EMT-B scope of practice? I was google searching it and was seeing alot of stuff in 2010 suggesting it wasn't. Can anyone tell me if this currently is or is not an allowed EMT-B skill in IL?

I think for NR basics can combitube, now depending on ur local EMS office their protocols might state differently, I know of some that scraped the combitube in favor of the King Airway
