No Basics should not be allowed to give Glucagon IM ........are you nuts?......you want to know why i think this ......because as a basic that is all you are trained to do is basic non invasive procedures....could you place your patient on a monitor after you gave this IM injection NO .....could you start a line on this patient if the glucogon didnt work to push a amp of D50 no ....all you could do would be give the the IM injection and moniotor the bs....it is fast acting most of the time and you have no way to counter an ill effects if you they occur......so for as a basic giving an IM injection of Glucagon NO WAY ......too many things can happen that you couldnt handle after the medication was given....allowing basics to give IM injections of glucogon is like allowing the POPE to do BRAIN SURGERY.......
