The Ambulance Tasmania (AT) Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) for Paramedics and Intensive Care Paramedics have undergone a major revision to ensure contemporary, evidence-based practice in an easy to read format. This revised format incorporates a flow chart style, colour coding for individual management steps, and distinct separation of Paramedic and Intensive Care Paramedic interventions. It was developed by the Ambulance Victoria (AV) CPG Working Group with specialist advice from the AV Corporate Communications Department, and provided to Ambulance Tasmania (AT) for conceptualisation to AT practice. The design provides greater clarity within each guideline to assist clinical practice. The reformat highlights key details and decision pathways within each Guideline and is intended to reduce risk in Paramedic practice through an improved clarity of the CPGs.
