ALS AND BLS INTERFACILITY TRANSPORT

Advanced Life Support (ALS) and Basic Life Support (BLS) interfacility transfers are critical components of healthcare logistics, ensuring that patients receive appropriate levels of medical care during transport between healthcare facilities. The choice between ALS and BLS levels of care is based on the patient's medical condition and the level of medical care required during the journey.

Basic Life Support (BLS) Interfacility Transports

• Involve transports of stable patients who require basic medical monitoring and support during transport but do not need advanced interventions or life-saving measures en route.
• These transfers are common for patients being moved between facilities for diagnostic tests, routine treatments, or specialized care for non-life-threatening conditions.
• Examples include oxygen administration, managing bleeding, managing fractures, and providing CPR if needed. 

Advanced Life Support (ALS) Interfacility Transports

• Involve transports of patients who require advanced medical monitoring, interventions, and life-saving measures during transport.
• Our paramedics can provide advanced medical interventions such as cardiac monitoring, intravenous medications, advanced airway management, etc. Our ambulances are equipped with cardiac monitors, ventilators, and medications necessary to stabilize and manage critical patients.
• Examples include patients with acute medical conditions, severe injuries, or critical illnesses that require ongoing medical care and intervention during transport.

​
For both types of transfers, we prioritize patient safety and continuous care and monitoring throughout the journey to provide an optimal patient experience.
