Actually it's considered a Med-Surg nursing skill in many hospitals since that is where most of these patients are. But you are right it is above the normal Paramedic skills and training. Since these patients with Port-A-Caths are fairly common and are transported via a variety of different ALS teams, some do have pretty good policies and have been trained for access. Although, many of these teams do include an RN. However, not all teams are created equal in skills or training, no matter the credentials.
Unless you were referring to the CCT paramedic and not Critical Care Unit, then my apologies Rid, you are correct.
