contributed to the development and updates of this document from REMAC, REMSCO, and Suffolk County EMS.  \nIntroduction  \nThese policies are intended to guide and direct patient care provided by EMS under the NY Collaborative Patient Care Protocols. They reflect the current evidence-based practice and consensus of content experts. These policies are designed to work alongside the collaborative protocols and are not intended to be absolute treatment documents, rather, as principles and directives which are sufficiently flexible to accommodate the complexity of patient management. No policy can be written to cover every situation that a provider may encounter, nor are protocols a substitute for good judgment and experience. Providers are expected to utilize their best clinical judgment and deliver care and procedures according to what is reasonable and prudent for specific situations. However, it will be expected that any deviations from policy or protocol shall be documented and reviewed, according to regional procedure.  \nTable of Contents  \nSection A: General Administrative Policies............................................................................................................ 4  \n1.
