So an EMT asked me the other day if a procedure was allowed under state protocols, and I really didn't know what to say.
Well, no. Not specifically. But a lot of stuff isn't specifically allowed, but is still done or allowed.
I've never had a protocol on the heimlich maneuver, but I can't imagine it's "not allowed."
Specifically she asked about wound packing. Is this just considered basic care? Or is a specific protocol needed for this?
