  • Medical Protocols for Emergency Medical Services Providers
    The Maryland Medical Protocols for Emergency Medical Services Providers Effective January 1, 2002. Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services Systems The complete “Maryland Medical Protocols for Emergency Medical Services Providers” is also avail- able on the Internet. Check out the MIEMSS website http://MIEMSS.umaryland.edu. ii To the EMS Providers of Maryland: At the April 2001 EMS Board meeting, the Board approved a set of protocols developed by the newly established Protocol Review Committee. This committee is comprised of members from all levels of prehospital care and types of EMS services in the state. In the 2002 version of the Maryland Medical Protocols for EMS Providers, there are several revisions, as well as new protocols for basic and advanced life support providers. The following protocols have been added to the Maryland Medical Protocols for EMS Providers: Expanded scope of practice for the CRT-(I) and the current Paramedic Ventilator Pilot Program Heparin Infusion for Interfacility Transport Pilot Program Airway Management: Bag Valve Mask Ventilation Diltizem Administration Medical Devices Spreadsheet While the list of new protocols is not extensive, the ALS Provider also has been given more latitude in the administration of certain medications. For example, the paramedic may administer, without on-line medical consultation, morphine (for select single system injuries) and aspirin (for the suspected MI). In addition, the paramedic will be allowed to access PIC and Central Lines, as well as, utilize Huber needles. Perhaps the greatest accomplishment of the protocol committee was the development of the Medical Devices for EMS and Commercial Services spreadsheet. Over the past several years, technology has allowed patients to be cared for at home, in some cases utilizing medical devices such as the home ventilator, medication pumps, and a variety of tubes and catheters.

Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services Systems The complete “Maryland Medical Protocols for Emergency Medical Services Providers” is also avail- able on the Internet. Check out the MIEMSS website www.MIEMSS.org. ii To All Health Care Providers in the State of Maryland: The 2004 update of the Maryland Medical Protocols for EMS Providers is relatively small in comparison to previous updates. While few in number, the revisions are significant to the successful outcome of prehospital patient care delivered to the citizens of Maryland. This year a formal protocol update class is not required by MIEMSS; however, a jurisdiction may elect to have providers participate in an update program to receive their update material. It is the responsibility of each provider to review the enclosed material to ensure he/she is familiar with the revisions. A copy of the 2004 Protocol Update Summary is included with the update. This spreadsheet specifically outlines each revision by providing the protocol title with its page and line numbers, as well as the old and new text for each change. The updated material, the entire protocol with the 2004 update revisions, and the Protocol Update Summary can be found in PDF format on the MIEMSS web page at www.MIEMSS.org. Recommendations for new protocols are encouraged and should be directed to your EMS Operational Program Medical Director or to the Office of the State EMS Medical Director in writing with supporting documentation and/or justification for their implementation. Please send your recommendations by either email ([email protected]) or fax (410-706-0853).
