PA EMT BLS Protocol Book

[surfing4ever24]

Does anyone know where to obtain the protocol book for Pennsylvania EMT-Bs?

I know they used to give them out, it's a small book containing all the protocols (easy to carry around all the time). I'm getting sick of carrying an enormous binder around whenever I need to refer to certain protocols/study.

Just wondering if anyone knows where to obtain or even buy one of these for a Pennsylvania EMT?


Thanks

Try calling the D.O.H. in Harrisburg. I am sure they have copies. I got mine with the roll out a few years back.

Not sure where you are in the state, but your Regional EMS office would be the first folks to check with.

The new 2011 protocols are out. They are MANDATORY effective 7/2011, however, per DOH, you may start using them as soon as comfortable - so I'd advise you to spend little time with the old ones:

Additionally, I have an EMS Protocol app on my iPhone. It's the "Paramedic Protocol Provider". I bought it on sale a while back, it's priced at $9.99, but I use it somewhat regularly (QA, etc).

Anyway - hope it helps.
