<p>EMS 20/20 Simulcast - Split the Party</p><p>This one’s different—and honestly, one of the most fun (and chaotic) things we’ve ever done.</p><p>The RideAlong crew teamed up with EMS 20/20 for a special simulcast episode where EMS meets Dungeons & Dragons. Guided by Chris and Spencer, we were dropped into a high-stakes, dice-driven scenario that quickly spiraled into full-blown EMS chaos.</p><p>What started as a straightforward cardiac arrest turned into a two-patient nightmare, tough decision-making, and the kind of curveballs you only get in real EMS—or a tabletop scenario run by EMS 20/20.</p><p>This episode is a mix of education, improvisation, and a lot of laughs… but underneath it all is a real look at teamwork, scene management, and thinking under pressure when everything goes sideways.</p><p>Huge thanks to EMS 20/20 for having us on—go give them a follow and check out their show.</p><p>--------------------------------------</p><p>Episode Breakdown</p><p>00:00 – RideAlong intro + setup for the collab</p><p>00:00:32 – Episode concept: EMS scenario meets D&D-style gameplay</p><p>00:08:04 – EMS 20/20 intro + scenario rules explained</p><p>00:14:14 – Dispatch: 70 y/o male, AMS, difficulty breathing</p><p>00:17:40 – Update: CPR instructions in progress</p><p>00:22:02 – Arrival on scene + access problem (locked house)</p><p>00:30:50 – Patient contact: CPR in progress, chaotic scene</p><p>00:37:24 – Additional responders arrive (team expands)</p><p>00:44:04 – Second patient identified (spouse deteriorating)</p><p>00:56:00 – Cardiac arrest management continues (ALS pending)</p><p>01:07:24 – ALS arrives, dual-patient management begins</p><p>01:18:21 – STEMI identified → flight activated</p><p>01:35:44 – Air medical arrival + patient transfer</p><p>01:42:07 – Cardiac arrest declines to asystole</p><p>01:46:09 – Decision point: termination of resuscitation</p><p>01:52:11 – Scenario breakdown + lessons learned</p><p>02:11:48 – Key takeaway: BLS can (and should) activate flight when needed</p><p>--------------------------------------</p><p>⚠️ Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational and storytelling purposes only.
