JANUARY / EMR:  Medication Review

The purpose of this training is to ensure all Emergency Medical Responders (EMRs) serving the Town of Lincoln are proficient in the administration and protocols of our authorized medications.
​
As EMRs, your adherence to these protocols is critical for patient safety and legal protection. While these guidelines provide our standard of care, it is important to remember that any deviation from these protocols or complex questions regarding patient management requires immediate contact with an on-line medical control physician at Marshfield Medical Center.
​
This session will focus on the specific indications, contraindications, dosages, and administration procedures for the following medications in our scope:
​

• Respiratory Support: Albuterol (Nebulizer) and Oxygen.

• Cardiac Emergencies: Aspirin.

• Allergic Reactions: Epinephrine (Auto-injector and Draw-up).

• Diabetic Emergencies: Oral Glucose Gel.

• Narcotic Overdose: Naloxone (Narcan).

Our goal is to ensure that every responder is prepared to deliver these interventions confidently, accurately, and in full compliance with the MMC regional trauma center standards. This session will be followed up with scenario-based training focusing on administration of medication in a training environment.
​​​​
Equipment Needed:  MMC EMR Protocols, EMS jump bag and medications (for skills-based practice).

Instructor:  EMS Service Director Beers
