CSEMS Local Protocol Program


The Central Shenandoah EMS Council Local Protocol Program provides instruction to EMS providers in the region on specific local protocols that differ from the 1994 release of the Emergency Medical Technician-Basic: National Standard Curriculum and the 1995 release of the First Responder: National Standard Curriculum.  Modules of the curriculum include use of automatic external defibrillators (AED), King LT airway, EpiPen® Auto-Injector, glucose monitoring, use of oral glucose and use of glucagon, and administration of aspirin and nitroglycerin for cardiac emergencies.  The goal of the program is to have adequately trained BLS providers who can provide advanced interventions for critical patients.

Students attending a Local Protocol program shall be certified as EMT-Basic or higher for all modules except the Early Defibrillation (AED) module.  In addition to EMT-Basic providers, First Responder providers are required to attend the Early Defibrillation (AED) module.  First Responders may optionally attend the glucose screening section of the Glucose Screening, Oral Glucose & Glucagon Administration module.  Advanced life support providers are not required to attend local protocol programs. 

Regional EMT-Basic providers are required to complete all of the modules of the local protocol training program before being released to practice as an attendant-in-charge.

Annual provider review is required.  A provider may attend a standard local protocol course or may attend a renewal course.  Recertifying providers are only required to participate in the identified practical aspect of the program, including the practical evaluation.

Local Training is the responsibility of each EMS agency in the CSEMS Council region and should be provided by the local instructor.
