"dean83: your avatar states you are from Alberta yet the title of PCP does not exist here and although the gap training "allows" for AB EMTs to "assist" with asa and nitro this currently falls under the legislation of the Health Disciplines Act, and under a little phrase called "local medical authority" LOTS of strictly BLS services do don't have that latitude, your suggesting that this is across the province and it just aint true, in that sense your blowing smoke and we have been waiting (some of us longer that others) to advance into the future with the Health Professions Act ... maybe then with just a FEW Medical Directors we CAN standardize care.
btw EMT does NOT = PCP ..... BC PCP does NOT = Ontario PCP ! PERIOD. "
In alberta emts can ADMINISTER ASA/NTG not assist, not all services have adopted this yet, but it is the governing bodies' stand, and why does EMT not equal PCP? last time i checked it did.
