What is a BLS ambulance?
A BLS ambulance (Basic Life Support ambulance) is equipped for basic life-support care — oxygen support, basic monitoring, and first-aid readiness. It is a step below ALS (Advanced Life Support) and is chosen when a patient needs basic support during transfer without full critical-care configuration.
