We all know the rush of flipping on the lights and sirens. It feels like we’re flying, but have you ever wondered if that "fast" ride is actually a dangerous gamble?
In this episode of From Science to the Scene, the National Registry Research Team dives into a massive study of over 19 million EMS calls. Host Chris Gage breaks down the math on whether "driving hot" actually helps or just hurts.
The Shocking Stats:
- The Time Myth: On average, lights and sirens only save about 1 to 3 minutes.
- The Danger Zone: Using them during a response makes a crash 50% more likely.
- The Transport Trap: When you have a patient in the back and use lights and sirens to the hospital, your risk of a crash nearly triples.
Is saving two minutes worth a 300% increase in crash risk? Tune in to hear why the data is forcing us to rethink the way we drive.
