In Delaware’s two-tiered EMS system, Basic Life Support (BLS) often arrives on-scene prior to ALS, but BLS providers were not previously authorized to administer naloxone. Through a BLS naloxone pilot study, the researchers sought to evaluate BLS naloxone administration and timing compared to ALS.

Chief Administrative Officer, Paul Moreau, says the current lease for the paramedic base at the Pembroke Regional Hospital expires in September of 2020 so they have time to work out all the details. Moreau says with all of the unknowns surrounding emergency services, they plan to wait until the province has given more direction before moving forward.
