AT NO TIME SHOULD AN EMS AGENCY BE IT PRIVATE OR 911 BASED RESPOND LIGHTS

AND SIRENS TO HOSPITAL FOR A TRANSFER. The emergency condition should have

already been dealt with. The patient being transferred always has to be deemed

by a physician stable enough for transport via the selected method.

 

So if the patient presented to an ER having a STEMI, and needed cath lab, a unit

should not respond to pick him up using lights and sirens if necessary? What if

the transferring hospital doesn't have cath lab?

 

Don't get me wrong, I am not a huge proponent of lights and sirens, but your

post made absolutely no sense to me at all.
