adopted a new national certification; EMT-Intermediate, based on several state's recommendations. In 1985 the Department of Transportation developed the first national standard curriculum for this new level of EMT/intermediate. The 1985 course provided advanced knowledge and mainly three "advanced interventions" (at that time); IVs, MAST trouser application and use of the esophageal obturator airway. Simply stated, EMT-I care centered on trauma patients. Soon after 1985 some states started adding "enhancements" (skills) to the intermediate and others adopted a more expansive level called "cardiac care" which included some ACLS drugs. In 1994 a blue ribbon panel of EMS stakeholders gathered and endorsed the EMS Education and Practice Blueprint. That blueprint was to resolve the fragmented levels of intermediates used across the nation. In 1999 the Department of Transportation, based upon the blueprint, developed a national standard curriculum for the EMT-intermediate. Immediately it ran into political opposition and the National Association of State EMS Directors (now the National Association of State EMS Officials) asked the NREMT board to continue to offer intermediate certifications at both the former (I-85) and the new (I-99) designated levels.

administration of nebulized and aerosolized beta-2 agonists such as Xopenex and albuterol, administration of D50W and D25W, IV therapy and access, and trauma life support including the use of MAST trousers. EMT-IVs can also administer nitroglycerin and aspirin in the event of cardiac emergencies, and can give glucagon. EMT-IVs can also administer the Mark 1 auto injector kit for organophosphate poisoning and suspected nerve gas exposure. The State of Tennessee Board of EMS is currently evaluating allowing EMT-IVs to administer naloxone, nitrous oxide as well as intraosseous infusions (IOs). The board has accepted the new levels of EMR, EMT, EMT-advanced, and paramedic. Gap analysis has been completed by the state and the board has moved to allow up to four years for the EMT-IV to transition to EMT-advanced by way of an eight-hour course, choosing to let all EMT-IVs and paramedics under the current standard be renewed as usual for this cycle.
504:, the first level of ALS is advanced EMT. The AEMT certification replaced the EMT-enhanced, unique to Virginia, starting in 2013 and fully replaced in the EMT-E certification in 2016. The EMT-E was essentially equivalent to the EMT-I/85 and could start IV lines, perform dual-lumen airway insertion, and administer some medications such as D50W, glucagon, albuterol, epinephrine, and sometimes narcotics, but could not administer any cardiac medications. The next level of ALS is EMT-intermediate, which replaced the EMT-cardiac technician beginning in 2002, and is equivalent to the I/99 level of certification. In most jurisdictions, the EMT-I operates under the same protocols as a paramedic. There are a few procedures that only EMT-intermediates cannot perform, including 434:(advanced EMT - critical care) certification, which is unique to New York, and is more advanced than a nationally recognized AEMT. In addition to the national scope of practice, New York also authorizes its AEMT-CCs to intubate patients and do three lead ecg monitoring as well as twelve lead in certain counties, in addition to providing certain cardiac medications and cardiac care, including cardioversion. In more recent years, New York has expanded its AEMT-CC level to include the administration of certain narcotics and some additional skills. In order to transition to the national standard, NYS has introduced an additional 357: 1836: 1848: 535:
1:1000, and Albuterol. This level of training is often used in rural areas where hospitals may be sparse and advanced life support intercepts or aeromedical transports can take a great deal of time. Additionally, some private ambulance companies employ advanced EMTs for interfacility transports which only require IV therapy and do not necessitate the specialized advanced care of a paramedic.

first-level ALS provider is EMT-cardiac, which is unique to Rhode Island. The EMT-C is a certification between the EMT-I and EMT-P, allowing the use of more cardiac drugs than the EMT-I, but fewer than the EMT-P. The time and cost of an EMT-C program is generally less than one third that of an EMT-P

In the 1970s as EMS levels were being designated, the NREMT issued certifications at only two levels; EMT-ambulance and EMT-paramedic. During the late 1970s and early 1980s some states started their own designations at levels in-between EMT-A and EMT-P. In the early 80s, the NREMT Board of Directors
