BLS Ambulance<\/a> provides service to patients who are non-ambulatory, bed-confined, and have non-life-threatening conditions. They are suitable if you do not require cardiac monitoring or advanced medical support on your way to the hospital. They are equipped with basic equipment such as oxygen cylinders, stretchers, and BP monitors. A typical BLS ambulance, staffed by caregivers transport, can serve lower extremity fractures, discharges to home and sub-acute care facilities (nursing homes), medical and surgical patients who do not require cardiac monitoring, and psychiatric patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ALS ambulances<\/a> are used to transport patients who require a higher level of care until they reach the hospital. These emergency ambulance services are staffed with two paramedics who are qualified to render advanced life support to patients and are equipped with advanced life support supplies like cardiac monitors, IV supplies, defibrillators, and resuscitation kits. Patients who typically require ALS transport include medical\/surgical patients on continuous intravenous treatment, patients on a cardiac monitor, patients with potential airway compromise, any patient deemed to have a potential complication during transport when reported by the sending facility, and life-threatening medical emergencies (For example respiratory distress, stroke, seizure, or chest pains).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n 2.
