I guess when I started this thread I should've expected how popular it would become!
My focus when I proposed several additional BLS skills was on high benefit/low risk skills that are often performed by non-medical personnel. That's basically the scope under the National Registry scope of practice as listed.
I'm a huge proponent of more training for BLS providers, of course -- and I'd like to see the EMT course lengthened to 200-300 hours.
But why not just make everyone a paramedic at that point?
