The advanced EMT or AEMT is the new mid-level EMS provider.  The new scope consists of all EMT level skills, basic airway management and the insertion of supraglottic airways, suctioning of an already intubated patient, usage of a Continues Positive Air Pressure device, initiation of peripheral intravenous therapy, pediatric and adult intraosseous placement and several pharmacological interventions beyond the EMT level. These pharmacological interventions include administering

• Non-medicated intravenous fluids (e.g. 0.9% normal saline)
• Sublingual nitroglycerin (service-supplied without needing medical direction)
• Epinephrine 1:1,000 for anaphylaxis and epinephrine 1:10,000 for cardiac arrest
• Dextrose 50%, dextrose 25%, and glucagon for hypoglycemia
• Naloxone for opioid overdoses
• Nitrous Oxide for pain management
• Inhaled beta agonist medications (e.g. albuterol and ipratropium) for respiratory emergencies caused by asthma, COPD, etc.
