Signa responding to ER

 

 

If you have a life-threatening emergency please dial 911

Basic Life Support (BLS) is a level of medical care which is used for patients with illness or injury until the patient can be given medical care in a hospital. It is provided by trained emergency medical technicians (EMT) in the pre-hospital setting.

 

BLS generally does not include the use of drugs or invasive skills, and can be supplemented with the provision of Advanced Life Support (ALS).

 

An important advancement in providing BLS care in Texas State, is the availability of the automated external defibrillator or AED, which can be used to deliver defibrillation. This improves survival outcomes in cardiac arrest cases, sometimes dramatically. In addition, EMTs can administer Epi-Pen for patients with severe allergic reactions.
