Advanced Life Support

Advanced Life Support (ALS) refers to a set of emergency procedures used to treat patients experiencing life-threatening medical conditions, such as cardiac arrest or severe respiratory issues. It includes the use of advanced techniques and equipment, like intubation for airway management, intravenous medications, and monitoring devices to assess the patient's vital signs. ALS is typically administered by trained healthcare professionals, such as paramedics or doctors, in pre-hospital or hospital settings. The goal is to stabilize the patient and restore normal bodily functions until further medical treatment can be provided.
