How many levels in your state

[firespec35]

OK this is a curiosity one. I've see a lot of levels here I've never seen anywhere else and I was just wondering how your state, province, or whatever semilocal governmental agency you practice under does. Mine is

EMT-B- Basic stuff, AED, combitube, epi pen

EMT-S All the Basic stuff plus IV, and Intubation

EMT-P All the EMT-S stuff plus Cardiac monitor/ Manual Defib/ 12 lead, Full box of drugs

Now that leads us to Ambulance levels

BLS- 2 basics or higher

LALS- Depending on the county 1 EMT, 1 EMTS or higher

ALS- Really depends on the county some are 1 EMT, 1 EMT-P some have to have EMTS/EMTP and some need 2 medics

My understanding is that this is pretty standard but some of you have other stuff so whats up in your neck of the woods

Never heard of an EMT-S. What state are you in?

Virginia has four levels:

EMT-B

EMT-E (Equivalent to EMT-I/85)

EMT-I (Equivalent to EMT-I/99)

EMT-P

Missouri just has the two EMT-B and EMT-P.
