Dr.

Wiederaenders observes 50th Ordination Anniversary Medical Society QKs EMTs can now administer intravenous fluids at scene Emergency Medical procedures have been greatlyenhanced in Seguin and Guadalupe County this week. For several months Emergency Medical Technicians of the Seguin-Guadalupe County Emergency Medical Services have been asking local physicians if it would be possible for them to treat victims of accidents and other emergency medical situations by administering Intravenous fluids, After months of investigation by the Guadalupe County Medical Society, It was decided that the could administer the intravenous fluids at the scene. The Guadalupe County Medical society has set up the guidelines for the administration of Intravenous fluids at the scene of accidents, According to the Texas state Department of Health, this procedure is in accordance with state law regulating emergency medical aid in the field. The malpractice Insurance recently purchased by the city and county protects the any liability claims against negligence on their part. The guidelines set by the Medical Board include the situations In which fluids can be administered and also the fluids which can be administered.

Up until this time EMT's could do nothing except elevate the victim's head and conserve body heat. Intravenous therapy will be of great benefit to patients who have suffered severe heart attacks, burns, diabetes and all severe traumatic Injuries.
