Advanced Life Support (ALS) is a set of life-saving medical procedures used in emergencies to stabilize critically ill or injured patients. It goes beyond basic life support by incorporating advanced techniques like intubation, defibrillation, and intravenous drug administration. ALS is performed by trained healthcare professionals such as paramedics, nurses, and doctors. It is crucial in managing cardiac arrests, severe trauma, and respiratory failures.
