AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 24 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO RESPIRATORY CARE PRACTITIONERS.

Summary

The bill amends Delaware’s respiratory‑care statutes so that qualified licensed respiratory therapists can perform all tasks involved in extracorporeal life support, such as ECMO and ECCO2R, including giving medications. It also clarifies the practitioner’s scope of practice, adds telemedicine provisions, and makes technical drafting corrections. The change aims to eliminate delays caused by requiring another licensed professional to administer drugs during these procedures.
