Protocols and standing orders serve as "back -up" if on -line medical directions are not available. Dispatch has no medical authority, so they will not be able to help, so protocols and standing orders must be used if on -line medical directions are not available for some reason or another. Do not wait for another team of healthcare providers. This would delay proper treatment.
