New publication: Lights and siren use in EMS

We are excited our multi-center study examining the frequency and precision of lights and siren use in metro Denver and Colorado Springs is now available. Published in Prehospital Emergency Care, the study found that of the nearly 20% of patients transported with L&S, less than a quarter warranted the high-risk response, as measured by the receipt of a time critical hospital intervention within 15 minutes of hospital arrival. The study suggests an opportunity for further reduction of L&S transports in trauma patients. Read more about the study here.
