An ALS ambulance (Advanced Life Support) is not just a vehicle. It is a mobile intensive care unit. Unlike BLS (Basic Life Support) ambulances, ALS units are equipped to handle cardiac arrest, respiratory failure, critical trauma, and complex medical emergencies.
At Infinity Chassis Units, we manufacture fully equipped ALS ambulances in our Ankara, Turkey factory. Based on EN1789 standards and international EMS protocols, we have compiled the definitive ALS ambulance equipment list.
What is the Difference Between BLS and ALS Equipment?
| Category | BLS Ambulance | ALS Ambulance |
|---|---|---|
| Airway Management | BVM, OPA, NPA, Suction | Adds: ET Tubes, LMA, Video Laryngoscopy, Surgical Airway |
| Cardiac Care | AED only (Automatic) | Manual Defibrillator (Cardioversion, Pacing) |
| Monitoring | Pulse Oximeter, BP Cuff | 12-Lead ECG, EtCO2, NIBP, IBP, SpO2, Temperature |
| Medications | Oral/IM (Aspirin, Epi, Glucose) | IV/IO Push (Amiodarone, Adenosine, Narcotics, Sedatives) |
| Advanced Procedures | None | IV/IO Access, Cricothyrotomy, Chest Decompression |
| Ventilation | BVM | Transport Ventilator with advanced modes |
| Personnel | EMT-B | Paramedic |
