What is an ALS ambulance?
An ALS ambulance (Advanced Life Support ambulance) is equipped for advanced pre-hospital care — monitoring and intervention capability above basic support, used when a patient’s condition may need advanced care during transport.
ALS is a step above BLS (Basic Life Support). It is chosen when the patient may need advanced monitoring, defibrillation readiness, airway support, or emergency medication administration during transfer.
