A AEMT in Oregon typically works with IV and IO access, fluid resuscitation, supraglottic airways, blood glucose monitoring, and an expanded medication list including dextrose, naloxone, and nitrous oxide in some systems. Your exact scope is set by Oregon EMS rules and your agency's medical director, so protocols vary between services — always practice to your local protocol.
