PREPARATORY  \nA. Foundations of the EMT-Critical Care Technician  \nThis unit covers, in an overview format, the most significant aspects of the following topics: EMS Systems/Role and Responsibilities, Medical Direction, Well-Being (including body substance isolation), Illness and Injury Prevention, Medical/Legal Issues, and Ethical Issues.  \nB. Overview of Human Systems/Roles and Responsibilities  \nThis overview of human systems includes the major aspects of anatomy and physiology including body organization, anatomical terminology, cell transport mechanisms, metabolism, and tissue types. All body systems are discussed with, emphasis on the nervous and cardiac systems. Basic fluid and electrolyte information is also included.  \nC. Emergency Pharmacology  \nThis unit provides foundation material in pharmacology including names and sources of drugs, drug classification, sources of information about drugs, drug legislation, schedules of controlled drugs, and standardization of drugs. Other topics include general properties of drugs, drug forms, routes of drug administration, interactions, and drug storage. Special considerations in drug therapy for pregnant patients, pediatrics, and geriatrics are also discussed.  \nThe EMT-Critical Care Technician scope of pharmacologic management addresses issues such as personal responsibility for safe and therapeutically effective drug administration, and legal, moral, and ethical responsibilities.  \nA review of the autonomic nervous system, essential to understanding the mechanism of action of drugs is included. Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics are integrated. The material presents components of a standardized drug profile (indications, contraindications, dosages, etc. ) and specific drugs are listed in the curriculum. These include: acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), adenosine, atropine, bronchodilators, 50% dextrose, diazepam, epinephrine (1:1,000), epinephrine (1:10,000), furosemide, lidocaine HCL 2%, morphine sulfate, naloxone, and nitroglycerin. As a general rule, EMS systems identify specific drugs for EMT-Critical Care Technician use. Each system establishes its protocols for delivery of prehospital emergency pharmacology.  \nD. Venous Access and Medication Administration  \nThis unit is designed to teach safe and precise venous access and medication administration. Medical direction is discussed in this unit relative to medical/legal aspects of invasive proceduresand medication administration.  \nMathematical principles and equivalents in pharmacology are important to understanding the science of drug calculations (\"med math\") . Methods for calculating dosages include those for intravenous parenteral medications, intravenous infusions, and administration of oral medications. Methods for calculating doses for infants and children are discussed.  \nMedical asepsis, body substance isolation (BSI) procedures for medication administration, and disposal of contaminated items and sharps, are included in the module. The discussion of venous access includes equipment and preparations used for obtaining peripheral and central venous  \nroutes, as well as indications, precautions, procedures, and general principles. The section on enteral and parenteral medication administration, and administering medications by inhalation, includes equipment and preparations, indications, techniques, precautions, procedures, and general principles. The different routes of medication administration discussed are oral, topical, inhalations, gastric tube, rectal, endotracheal, intradermal, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous, intraosseous, percutaneous, and intravenous infusion (\"piggyback\") . The unit discusses the purposes for obtaining a blood sample, then lists equipment and preparations, locations from which to draw a sample, procedures, and complications.  \nII.
