Advanced Life Support Explained

An unidentified woman taken from Tiger Woods’ home is said to be listed as an Advanced Life Support patient.

But first, what is Advanced Life Support?

In the USA, Advanced, Intermediate and Paramedic level services are known collectively as Advanced Life Support.

Advanced Life Support is a treatment consensus for cardiopulmonary resuscitation in cardiac arrest and related medical problems. It is practiced by in-hospital cardiac arrest teams, which generally consist of junior doctors from various specialties (anesthetics, general or internal medicine).

A patient undergoing ALS is treated by an emergency medical technician (EMT), who is capable of performing advanced life support skills as either an EMT-A (Advanced), EMT-I (Intermediate) or an EMT-P (Paramedic), commonly referred to simply as a paramedic or medic.
