Hey All,
I was curious, and wanted to start one thread in one place, as to what "progressive" (purposefully left vague) ideas your agency or an agency you've heard of is using.
For example:
Advanced Care Paramedics capable of providing "non traditional" services such as suturing, anti-biotic perscriptions etc. Please feel free to elaborate on any of these programs you know of!
Specific advanced medical programs such as ground 911 chest tubes, thrombos etc. All of these, of course, are open to debate.
The purpose of this thread is to hopefully share nationally and internationally what the "cutting edge" of EMS care is, and how are colleagues are using different procedures and protocols beyond the average 911 ALS unit.
