Dent, M.D. <br /> Professor of Anesthesiology <br /> Duke University Medical Center <br /> Dear Sara: <br /> It was nice to meet with you to discuss the possibilities of <br /> Duke Hospital becoming a sponsoring hospital for the orange County <br /> Rescue Service. As we discussed, the important points of this <br /> affiliation would include; your assuming medical responsibility for <br /> t're� rescue squad to assure adequate training in achieving EMT-IV <br /> status in addition to providing four hours of re-training each <br /> month. Second, the rescue squad should acquire liability coverage <br /> and maintain it during the period that the sponsorship is provided <br /> by Duke Hospital . The squad should use the IV protocol presently <br /> in existance in Durham County and communicate with the Duke Hospital <br /> Emergency Department to obtain permission. to start IV' s under this <br /> protocol. Fourthly, since our present regimen requires that each <br /> EMT have V starts each obtain <br /> startedin <br /> addition IV <br /> the field. <br /> We both agree that maintenance of .adequate records to document <br /> the IV starts, the indications and' authorizati.on as well as a monthly <br /> review process would be an intrinsic part of a, sound program. I <br /> think this is an excellent opportunity to provide cooperation between <br /> the Duke Hospital and your rescue squad which does apleasetforward o� <br /> If you think we can develop this type of a program, p <br /> a Letter to Dr. Roscoe Robinson and we can proceed with a formal <br /> sponsorship. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Joseph A. Moylan, M.D. <br /> Associate Professor of Surgery <br /> ,JAM/d <br /> CC : Dr. Roscoe R. Robinson <br /> Mr. Richard Peck <br />
