B. Consideration of Minutes  
MEDICAL ADVISORY SUBCOMMITTEE AUGUST 2023 MINUTES  
2023  
MIN-269  
Attachments: MAS Minutes  
The minutes were approved.  
C. Discussion Items  
Dane County EMS Protocols  
Pediatric Hypoglycemia  
DCEMS Protocol for pediatric hypoglycemia D10 dosage will change to 3mg/Kilo per Dr.  
Kim’s research and recommendation. Newborn resuscitation protocol dosage should also  
be updated. Add box that says to check in 10 minutes and redose as appropriate. Once  
pages are corrected, updates and memo will be sent to agencies.  
Stroke Update  
Following meeting with the hospital stroke coordinators and neurologists, it was agreed  
that pre-hospital LVO screening makes no immediate difference in treatment of stroke  
patients. Because of this, it will be removed from the Dane County protocols following a  
memo that is sent to hospital stroke programs to make them aware of the change.  
Carbon suggests hospitals continue to monitor any inter-facility transfers to make sure it  
isn’t causing undue strain on the system; also a suggestion for stroke programs to share  
data with group.  
Stoughton ED Transport - Strandlie  
Strandlie reviews capabilities of Stoughton ED as they have seen an increased number  
of patients being transported that they aren't able to provide proper treatment for. Diebold  
reiterates that it's sometimes hard to transport patients from their facility to another  
facility, and EMS transporting directly to a more appropriate hospital may give patient  
best care. Strandlie will share list of capabilities with Meier to share with agencies.  
ED Recovery Coaches  
Suggestion for EMS providers to call for a Recovery Coach on behalf of their patient so  
they can meet them in the ED. EMS providers are not expected to do this, but it is an  
extra opportunity to get that patient help if desired. Request to add ED2Recovery number  
to next protocol update. Cards/flyers will also be sent out to get number shared out to  
agencies. Meriter also provides HOPE kits in ED and trying to track data to see how  
often they are being distributed and how often Recovery Coaches are being utilized.
