Lights & Sirens is a Medical Intervention

EMS should use lights and sirens selectively, the same as any clinical intervention for our patients. On Feb. 14, 2022, leaders of many EMS associations published a statement calling for decrease in use of red lights and sirens for EMS responses and transports. Data from NHTSA and Dr. Doug Kupas's seminal paper on the use of red lights and sirens in EMS that fewer than 7% of patients transported to the hospital with lights and sirens received a life-saving intervention upon arrival in the ED.

Rob and Hilary interview two of the leaders of research and change on this topic: Brooke Burton, Quality Improvement & Controlled Substances Manager at Unified Fire Authority in Salt Lake City, Utah and Bryan Wilson, EM/EMS Physician at St. Luke's University Health Network and EMS Medical Director for City of Bethlehem EMS. They discuss the need to educate the public and local governments that clinical care is more important than response times.
