Ambulance Services

Advanced Life Support

ALS care is administered in life-threatening and serious medical circumstances enroute to the hospital by an ALS Technician. Our crew includes at least one ALS provider and one Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). This includes all aspects of care at the BLS (Basic Life Support) level plus IV administration (drugs and/or saline), cardiac care (defibrillation to shock life-threatening arrhythmias back to life; 12 lead EKG to identify cardiac ischemic events), administration of oxygen and, if needed, controlled substances (diazepam for seizures, morphine for acute pain). Monroe Ambulance also provides Advanced Life Support with area volunteer ambulance and fire departments, ensuring that patients who live in outlying areas have access to all of our life saving paramedic services. This includes back-up Advanced Life Support to area volunteer agencies, fire departments, and ambulance corps. ALS Flycar Service.
