Bill > A308

Introduced Session

This bill expands the definition of basic life support to include blood glucose monitoring. Under current law, "basic life support" means a basic level of pre-hospital care which includes patient stabilization, airway clearance, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, hemorrhage control, initial wound care and fracture stabilization, and other techniques and procedures authorized by the Commissioner of Health (commissioner). This bill amends the definition of "basic life support" to include blood glucose monitoring and directs the commissioner to adopt rules and regulations ensuring that each EMT-Basic training program includes adequate instruction and training on blood glucose monitoring.
