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.
