Advanced Life Support (ALS)

Advanced Life Support (ALS) in prehospital emergency medicine refers to a set of medical procedures and interventions performed by trained paramedics or emergency medical technicians to stabilize patients in serious conditions before they reach a hospital. This includes advanced airway management, administering medications, and monitoring vital signs. ALS aims to address life-threatening situations such as cardiac arrest, trauma, or severe medical emergencies, ensuring that patients receive critical care quickly and effectively, enhancing their chances of survival and recovery. The goal is to provide comprehensive care during transport to specialized medical facilities.
