B. Consideration of Minutes  
This resolution was approved  
MEDICAL ADVISORY SUBCOMMITTEE FEBRUARY 2025 MINUTES  
2025  
MIN-059  
Attachments: MAS February Minutes  
This resolution was approved  
C. Discussion Items  
Magnesium Sulfate  
Discussed possibility of stocking magnesium sulfate in a larger dose. Medically there is  
no difference in medication concentration, so it would be up to individual services to  
make operational decision. Vending machines will continue to stock lower dose, but can  
fit the larger dose if shortages necessitate it.  
EMS Annual Survey - Final Feedback  
2024 final results were sent out to group to get feedback on possible changes. Survey  
will be sent to agencies to be completed by end of June.  
EMS Protocols - Standing Item  
MEP - 2026 will have a more in-depth review. Accepting feedback from everyone until  
August 21st through a survey. Will use that to guide town halls that will be conducted in  
September. Goal is to submit to state by December, go-live by April. UW - continuing to  
work through adult and peds (70% complete). Suggestions were made to improve the  
feedback request form UW has out currently.  
Question about using LUCAS device for traumatic cardiac arrest. UW does not  
recommend it unless it's for provider safety during transport. Dr. Spigner shares that  
NAEMSP new statement did not make any mention of mechanical CPR at all. Letter to  
editor said their regional trauma advisory council is putting together a statement about  
mechanical CPR. Anderson has asked if having data provided that shows quick  
application of LUCAS would help in making decisions. Will continue to discuss and have  
on June MAS meeting.  
D. Presentations  
E. Reports to Committee
