EMS arrives on scene and initiates high quality basic life support (BLS). It was the classic OPALS paper covered on SGEM#64 by the Legend of Emergency Medicine Dr. Ian Stiell that demonstrated no advantage to ACLS vs. BLS for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Bystander CPR is initiated prior to EMS arrival.

I am in the fly car and a BLS crew is in the ambulance. I don’t see anyone on two passes, but then I hear the BLS unit radio they’ve found him. We’re dispatched to an overdose on Ashley Street. We’re driving around looking for the victim. I swing around to where they are now parked at the curb with their lights still going.

I was in the paramedic fly car and a BLS crew was in the ambulance. I didn’t see anyone on two passes, but then I heard the BLS unit radio that they’d found the patient. The association is that junkies are human trash. One day I was dispatched to an overdose. We were driving around looking for the victim.

The EMS crew was only BLS certified, so EKG interpretation is not within their scope of practice. The ambulance report says "BP continued to drop during transport and pt remained cold and clammy."

Worse, our moral injury would increase when during these “high volume” periods you would hear a BLS unit begin on the radio for any help with a sick person who needed an airway, or a pediatric near-drowning…and getting none. Or we would arrive on the scene only to be canceled by the EMTs.

Before BLS, or Basic Life Support, was able to administer Narcan, agencies would have to wait for a MICP unit to arrive on scene to administer the lifesaving medication. Recent studies , however, show that back-boarding patients leads to an increase in agitation, discomfort, and has the possibility of airway compromise.
