one of the benefits of working EMS in texas is that the physician sets the standard of care in allowing what you can and can't do. the physician that we work under, allows us to "to practice medicine" and stray from the COGs a bit.
the COG is a guide line to go by but not one situation is the same, not everyone gets the same treatment all the time, if you can back up why you did something and make it work they are really cool about it. we rarely have to call med control on much. ex: nitro for a hypertensive crisis if you can't get the bp down by other means. understanding the effects that the nitro can have on the negative feedback loop system is a major player in this.
i have not worked in others states and am wondering what the guide lines are like that you have to play by.
