Hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare professionals follow a universal needlestick protocol that is set by the Occupational Safety Health Administration, when they have been accidentally stuck by a needle, especially if the needle has been used on a patient. The paramedic should follow the policy of the institution or agency he works for.
