As there have been a significant number of individual revisions during the years we are issuing this new set of protocols dated 2008.  \nEach of the protocols that were revised has the date of revision on the bottom of the protocol page. These various revisions were sent to EMS agencies and EMS Course Sponsors previously either by mailing or electronic distribution. There are no revised protocols contained in the 2008 NYS BLS protocols that have not been sent to you before. However, we recommend your training officer review these protocols and provide an update to your members/employees as appropriate.  \nWe would like to acknowledge the members of the New York State EMS Council’s Medical Standards Committee for the time and effort given to developing this set of protocols. In addition, we would like to recognize the efforts of the Regional Emergency Medical Advisory Committees (REMACS) for their input and review.  \nMark Henry, MD, FACEP Medical Director Edward Wronski, Director  \nState Emergency Medical Advisory Committee Bureau of Emergency Medical Services  \nNYS EMT-B Basic Life Support Protocols  \nNYS EMT-B Basic Life Support Protocols  \nIntroduction  \nThe 2008 NYS Statewide Basic Life Support Adult and Pediatric Treatment Protocols designed by the Bureau of Emergency Medical Services of the New York State Department of Health and the New York State Emergency Medical Services Council. These protocols have been reviewed and approved by the New York State Emergency Medical Advisory Committee (SEMAC) and the New York State Emergency Medical Services Council (SEMSCO) . The protocols reflect the current minimally acceptable statewide treatment standards for adult and pediatric basic life support (BLS) used by the Emergency Medical Technician-Basic (EMT-B) and Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (AEMT) . A protocol manual for Certified First Responders (CFRs) will be published separately.  \nThese protocols are not intended to be absolute and ultimate treatment doctrines, but rather standards which are flexible to accommodate the complexity of the problems in patient management presented to Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) and Advanced Emergency Medical Technicians (AEMTs) in the field. These protocols should be considered as a model or standard by which all patients should be treated. Since patients do not always fit into a \"cook book\" approach, these protocols are not a substitute for GOOD CLINICAL JUDGMENT, especially when a situation occurs which does not fit these standards.  \nThis manual includes a protocol for the general approach to the prehospital management of a patient, which is applicable to EMTs and AEMTs, and BLS protocols for the management of specific conditions. These protocols apply to both adults and children. In several cases, protocols designed specifically for adults or children are included. These are identified as such in their titles.  \nSeveral assumptions have been made in developing the specific protocols. First, the EMT or AEMT has followed the protocol outlining the general approach to the prehospital management of the patient, that both the subjective and objective patient information has been analyzed to arrive at an appropriate treatment plan. Secondly, specific treatment protocols are referred to once the patient’s problem has been identified. Obviously, significant indirect (off-line) medical control has been assumed in the development of these protocols. It was also assumed that appropriate local direct (on-line) medical control at both the basic life","cbCaiahXQONFHmnX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiahXQONFHmnX","pdf",1164716,240,"English","# GENERAL APPROACH\n## General Approach to Prehospital Patient Management GA – 1\n# MEDICAL\n## Abdominal Pain (Non-Traumatic) M – 1\n## Altered Mental Status (Non-Traumatic and without Respiratory or Cardiovascular Complications) M – 2\n## Anaphylactic Reaction with Respiratory Distress and Hypoperfusion M – 3\n## Behavioral Emergencies M – 4\n## Adult Cardiac Related Problem M – 5\n## Cold Emergencies M – 6\n## Pediatric Respiratory Distress/Failure M – 7\n## Heat Emergencies M – 8\n## Adult Obstructed Airway M – 9\n## Pediatric","[{\"question\":\"What does the 2008 NYS BLS adult and pediatric protocol update replace?\",\"answer\":\"It replaces the former 2002 protocols with revised protocols added over the years.\"},{\"question\":\"How are EMT-B and AEMT expected to use these protocols in the field?\",\"answer\":\"They should follow the general approach protocol first, then use the specific protocols once the patient’s problem is identified, while applying good clinical judgment when situations do not fit the standards.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the stated goal of prehospital emergency medical care in these protocols?\",\"answer\":\"To provide definitive care as rapidly and safely as the situation indicates, without deterioration and, when possible, with improvement.\"}]","New York State Department of Health - 2008 Basic Life Support Adult & Pediatric Treatment Protocols - EMT-B and AEMT | PDF",1790153269,605]
