Standing Orders

This set of written standing orders is intended to guide the actions of MSB EMS providers in the majority of circumstances; however, neither these orders nor any others can anticipate every situation that may arise. While medics may not exceed their level of training without specific on-line direction, they must use their judgment in applying the standing orders, and should consult Medical Control as appropriate. If a MSB EMS provider is given and executes verbal orders beyond the scope of standing orders, that information shall be forwarded to the EMS QA Manager immediately after the event.
