What about Glucagon here in illinois we can give it as emt basic

[@IdahoMedicalAcademy]

Some states will have an expanded scope, but generally Glucagon is considered an AEMT level medication which is why it was not covered in the video.

Thank you so much, am an emt student in uganda. can we give asprine and nitroglycerin to a patient presenting with chest pain

[@IdahoMedicalAcademy]

Thanks for watching all the way from Uganda! Aspirin and Nitroglycerin can both be given together to patients who present with chest pain as long as they do not have any other contraindications for those medications. I am not sure of what the scope of practice for EMT's in Uganda is, so you will need to look at your local protocols to see if you are allowed to give those medications.
