Additional scopes

Heparin and alteplase pages cover continuation during authorized interfacility transport. Nitroglycerin has both field and transport sections. SO-F-02 product pages cover the Fire Service RN program, not general pediatric/9-1-1 administration. Vaccination pages describe conditional historical procedures and do not claim current program authorization.

Adult and pediatric on each page

Every medication/product page has separate adult and pediatric sections. If a source supplies no pediatric dose, limits an age group, or requires base direction, that is stated instead of extrapolating an adult dose. The weight chart supports medication preparation; a row alone does not establish treatment authority.

When documents differ

Guides identify the particular source for important differences, including adult push-dose epinephrine authorization, opioid base contact at age 2, neonatal albuterol, and indication-specific BP or repeat-dose rules. Resolve discrepancies through current OCEMS/agency medical direction before use.
