You might want to bring this up with a representative on the policy and procedures board. They may want to modify standards to incorporate the improved understanding in their next update evolution. As medical knowledge and equipment evolve over time policy, procedure, and training have to be updated and most EMS bureaucracies have a board or committee established to keep up.
