The original State of Ohio Pediatric EMS Guidelines and Procedures Manual was created in 2013. In 2016, the EMFTS Board approved utilization of the National Association of State EMS Officials (NASEMSO) National Model EMS Clinical Guidelines, the first evidence-based, consensus-based, and patient-centric EMS guideline document ever created, as a foundation for all of the State of Ohio EMS guideline documents. This is the first edition of the State of Ohio Pediatric EMS Guidelines and Procedures Manual that incorporates elements of the NASEMSO National Model EMS Clinical Guidelines, and it will support the EMFTS Board’s goal to adopt evidence-based measures that demonstrate improved patient care and outcomes.
