Question:

If a PCP crew has a RN onboard from a previous transfer and is assigned a VSA call what is the base hospitals position on said nurse providing ACLS care such as Epinephrine administration if their transfer bag has the medications. What about if a RT is in a similar position when it comes to airway management? 

Answer:

If the associated health provider is now attending a separate call from the transfer, the SWORBHP “Interacting with a Healthcare Provider On Scene” Policy would apply. For full details, please see the policy here (link)
