For decades, only one major organization—the American Heart Association (AHA)—provided standardized training and certifications in Advanced Cardiac LifeSupport (ACLS) and Pediatric AdvancedLifeSupport (PALS). In 2015, it introduced Basic LifeSupport (BLS) training and certification for EMS personnel.
This could range from basic lifesupport, typically managed by EMTs, to more advancedlifesupport provided by paramedics and other medical specialists. EMTs are trained to provide basic emergency medical care and are often the first healthcare professionals to arrive at the scene of an emergency.
Crewing Models: There are varying models of pre-hospital care ranging from paramedic provision of care through the mix of FirstAid (Tanigawa and Tanaka 2006) Basic LifeSupport (BLS), immediate care, AdvancedLifeSupport (ALS) and the many associated specialist paramedicine grades.
