What is.”BLS”?
BLS stands for Basic Life Support which is your normal ambulance you would see.
BLS = Basic Life Support, ALS = Advanced Life Support
BLS=Basic Life Support=EMT”s
ALS=Advanced Life Support=Paramedics
Basic life support
Basic Life Support aka EMT’S as opposed to ALS – Advanced Life Support aka paramedics
Basic life support
To # 1 – and KMC you know what it is?
@ confused, it’s a spelling error. It’s supposed to say ALS which is Paramedics (Advanced Life Support)
any names for tehillim?
# 8 AND #9:
It’s a typo.
It shoulda said KFC.
You know what that is?
what can we do about the driving in this town to improve?
as a first responder I am wondering why 6-7 ambulance were required for 2 injuries ? were they Lakewood ems ? hatzolah , gem ? just not sure how all those ambulance were dispatched to a call like this. seems very dangerous
#13 with 2 vehicles AND Pedestrians involved, the number of injuries is unknown at the outset. Paramedics come in a separate ambulance. an extrication ambulance can be dispatched, because it may be needed. per the article, 3 people were transported, and gratefully, not more. (as a family member of a first responder)
Upon arrival of the first first responder he saw total of five patients which requires five ambulance two of them were ALS patient that needed an additional two ALS ambulances per MONOC protocol for a total of seven
To a patient ended up signing an rma
Did I explain it well enough for you
thanks for that
