This bill allows ambulance services in South Dakota to equip their vehicles with epinephrine and supraglottic airway devices (equipment used to manage airways), and allows trained emergency medical technicians to use these tools following state-approved protocols and their service's medical director's guidelines. The bill requires the state health department to create statewide protocols for how these medications and devices should be used by ambulance personnel.
