Advanced Life Support

Advanced Life Support (ALS) ambulances are operated by either a Paramedic or an EMT-Advanced, based on the patient's medical condition and their specific medical requirements during transport. Ambulances with Paramedic personnel are equipped to transport patients on a Mechanical Ventilator, perform Surgical Cricothyrotomy, manage advanced airways, monitor 12-lead ECG, insert an Intraosseous Needle, and carry out other specialized procedures.

 

EMT-Advanced teams are capable of monitoring heart rhythms, administering normal saline through IV, and providing a variety of medications for conditions other than cardiac issues, in addition to monitoring the heart's electrical activity.
