2、 last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This guide covers the training standard for the emer-gency medical technician (paramedic) to deal with emergen-cies.
3、 Primary care and wilderness/delayed/prolonged contexttraining for the emergency medical technician (paramedic) isnot within the scope of this guide, but may be dealt with inother ASTM standards.1.2 This guide identifies the knowledge and skills that allprograms that train the emergency medical tech
4、nician (para-medic) should include in their training program.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-
5、bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
