Commissioners approve one dose of nasal glucagon and locked refrigeration for ambulance meds
Summary
County approved purchase of one $477 dose of nasal glucagon and a small refrigerator to secure medications after staff said ambulance crews are now approved to administer nasal and IM glucagon following training.
Interim Ambulance Administrator Hohm and Louann Streff, PA, told the board the ambulance crew has been approved to administer nasal glucagon and intramuscular glucagon after proper training. Streff told commissioners the nasal glucagon product costs $477 per dose. The board approved purchase of one nasal glucagon and also approved acquiring a small refrigerator to lock medications in the ambulance building.
Commissioners recorded the purchase as a single-dose acquisition rather than an ongoing program purchase during this meeting; the action was approved without further conditions recorded in the minutes. The refrigeration unit was approved separately to provide secure medication storage at the building.
