Not sure if it's been mentioned, but New Jersey is going to the registry standard of assisting with Nitro...

This means:

Initiate treatment if the following conditions are present:

The Patient's systolic blood pressure is equal to (=) or greater than (>) 100 mm Hg.

Contraindications are now: Hypotension (a systolic bp of less than (<) 100 mm Hg)

Keep that in mind the next time you're dispatched for a possible cardiac

How about keeping in mind your service's protocols, unless NJ has a blanket statewide protocol that everyone works under regardless of employer.

Was changed and stated by the NJ Department of Health and Senior Services / OEMS... So from the looks of it, it's NJ-wide.

What I am asking is this...Does every service follow the exact same state guidelines?

For example, in other states, the state says paramedics or EMTs may do this or that, but it is still up to the service whether or not they wish to implement those guidelines or allow the employees to do it.
