Anil Tailor was found to have violated the rules of conduct, performance and ethics at the end of a Board of Health Professions (PSC) hearing.
The panel ruled that measure, a senior allied South East Coast Ambulance Service, would be subject to a custody order for the next two years.
The decision was based on four main claims against the measure, including the lack of responsibility as a senior paramedic and does not refer a patient to another health professional for follow up.
All the allegations relate to incidents which took place in 2008 at Penny Hill Park Caravan Blackwater.
During the early hours of October 27 this year, custom made at the scene after a call had been made by a woman who lived there suffered from chest pains and arm.
It was alleged that a tailor, who had advised the woman, who has been referred to as Patient A, to take Gaviscon antacid and communicate with their GP in the morning, before he then left the caravan site.
Measurement, however, was forced to return to Penny Hill 40 minutes later after reports that the patient had collapsed.
Despite efforts to resuscitate her, the woman died later that morning at the hospital.
At the hearing, which opened on March 15 this year, Custom admitted to three charges brought against him on grounds of incompetence.
These include a failure to take responsibility as the primary clinician on the scene, and failing to ensure that patients' medical records and a medical checklist has been sufficiently and properly completed.
He also initially admitted to an allegation does not refer the patient to another health professional to monitor, but later changed its mind and dismissed the case.
Ultimately Tailors defense, led by Nadia Miszczanyn, argued that if his client failed in its duties, it was because of lack of competence rather than misconduct.
His defense also stressed that the ability to practice as a nurse Tailors had not been achieved in spite of his confession of incompetence.
The group concluded, however, that tailor had breached its duty to all four charges, adding that he considered this failure may be due to a fault rather than incompetence.
In a series of excerpts from his decision, the CHP has described his verdict on the incident.
It describes how to tailor had taken responsibility for the clinician on the main stage, did not consider the findings of the ambulance technician or intervention, even though he knew aboard ECG was defective.
The committee also added that tailor had been aware of the errors in patient records, something he admitted cons-examination.
They said: If the registrant [as] verified this form, it would have been obvious to him that the registration of both observations were inaccurate.
The statement was clearly able to handle the tasks and the need for their performance, but not to the occasion in question perform the task required of him.
Non-compliance by the registrant to refer Patient A to another healthcare professional to monitor, under the circumstances of this case constitutes a fault.
He was an experienced paramedic would have done.
The committee did however admit that he regarded the incident as having been an isolated incident, adding that tailor had shown insight and remorse at his actions.
He also stressed the fact that there had been no subsequent complaints or concerns about the practice as a paramedic Tailors.
Measurement, which has the right to appeal, will now be the subject of a custody order will remain on his professional record for the next two years.
