Basic Life Support

BLS services are for patients who cannot safely ride in a vehicle or wheelchair, and instead require an individual to lie on a stretcher to be monitored during a transport. These patients only require basic level of medical supervision, and BLS services can range from transports to and from healthcare facilities as well as private residences. Two EMT-Basics can provide basic airway management, bleeding control, and/or patient stabilization while on scene and during the transfer.
