5 PCP page 18/ ACP page 22 The age for the Opioid Toxicity Medical Directive is now 12 years old General Note Regarding Epinephrine: Recently manufacturers have changed labelling regarding the concentrations of supplied epinephrine in ampoules. Ampoules previously labeled as Epinephrine 1 mg/ml 1:1000 no longer list the 1:1000 on the label. All references to 1:1000 in the pocketbook refer to the concentration of epinephrine provided as 1 mg/ml. Similarly Epinephrine 0.1 mg/ml 1:10000 pre-load will be known only as Epinephrine 0.1 mg/ml. And again references to 1:10000 refer to Epinephrine 1 mg/ 10 ml should refer to Epinephrine provided as a concentration as 0.1 mg/ml. Pictures are provided below to show the changes:

6 ACP page 6 Epinephrine table at the bottom of the algorithm incorrectly states ETT Epinephrine 1:1,000. This should read ETT Epinephrine 1:10,000. The algorithm flowchart above this has the correct dosing. ACP page Lidocaine < (less than), should be (greater than or equal to) 100 mmhg 2. Repeat dosing is listed as 0.75 mg/kg to a maximum of 75 mg, this should read: 0.75 mg/kg to a maximum of 150 mg PCP page 7 Medical Cardiac Arrest number of interpretations for any age is Pediatric Doses (in pink) -Epinephrine-IM (for suspected anaphylaxis) should have a imum dose listed as 0.5 mg Shared reference page R-2 The Acute Stroke Protocol Prompt Card: The reference provided shows a.5 hour time from onset within the indications. As per the current guidelines, that should read 3.5 hours. The.5 hour window comes into effect with the new BLS standards on Dec 11, Shared reference page R-2 Balil typo Shared reference page R-39 Provincial STEMI guideline should also read: Once a STEMI is confirmed, the paramedic should apply defibrillation pads due to the potential for lethal cardiac arrhythmias.
