Due
to the national drug shortages, many EMS agencies in
Oregon are facing the potential of running out of certain
medications. The EMS Section of the Oregon Fire
Chiefs has placed on
their website a 'Best Practices' list of what several
counties, agencies and Supervising Physicians are
considering with this issue. Please review and send
to the EMS Section any ideas your agency is trying. (www.OFMAA.org/iDrugShortages.htm)
