Is Pulse Oximetry and Glucose Measurement required for all EMS Vehicles?
Pulse Oximetry and the ability to measure Blood Glucose must be available to monitor any patient cared for within any EMS System. If it is not available on all EMS Vehicles, both of these important patient monitoring skills must be monitored by the EMS System Peer Review Committee to assure they are being used and are available for all patients based on the 2009 NCCEP Patient Care Treatment Protocols.
