General Pain Management (Adult and Pediatric):
An emergency change to the “General Pain Management (Adult and Pediatric)” protocol pertaining to the “Paramedic” level of treatment was issued last week by the NYC REMAC. This has been rescinded and replaced. A slight modification in language has been made that does not change the protocol but makes dosing clearer regarding the opiate options in the protocol. There are also additional changes that have been made as outlined below. A brief Mandatory Protocol Update has been assigned to all paramedics on the NYC REMSCO
LMS to explain the changes below in detail. All paramedics are required to complete this course, EVEN IF COMPLETED AFTER INITIAL RELEASE, to indicate receipt of the advisory and acknowledge understanding of the changes. CME credit will be issued to Paramedics’ transcripts. Agency training coordinators are required to monitor and ensure compliance.
