Honoring all those who served. Not just today, but everyday. 🇺🇸

🚑 We are extremely proud to announce that as of 05:00 this morning Lakeland EMS has gone live with additional expanded scope of practice protocols to now include blood glucometry and albuterol in cooperation with our Medical Director, Dr. Matt Letizia, and as per the NJOEMS guidelines for BLS ambulance services.

What this means for you is that Lakeland ambulances continue to provide the latest in pre-hospital patient care measures, adding these new standards of care to our existing expanded scope protocols like CPAP.

Blood glucose levels are able to be obtained by our EMTs on patients with an altered level of consciousness, syncope, near syncope,
symptoms of stroke, seizure and/or history of diabetes to help ensure that we are delivering the most appropriate treatments before arrival at definitive care. Additionally, our EMTs now have access to carry and administer nebulized albuterol for certain types of respiratory emergencies including asthma and other chronic conditions.

As many inquiries have come in, we wanted to let you know that first and foremost our crew is safe. Shortly after noon today, BLS 4351 was dispatched to a reported jackknifed tractor trailer with unknown injuries on Interstate 80 Westbound in the area of Exit 19. During the response, our ambulance was struck by another vehicle impacting near the driver’s door. This comes in the wake of too many other very tragic events on the Interstate lately. Please, please, please don’t rush and always ensure that emergency and service vehicles have the right of way and appropriate room to work. We’re thankful everyone came home safely today, and appreciative of everyone who has reached out to check on us.
