Advanced Life Support Care (ALSC) - a sophisticated level of pre-hospital and inter-hospital emergency care which includes basic life support functions including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), plus cardiac defibrillation, telemetered electrocardiography, administration of anti-arrhythmic agents, intravenous therapy, administration of specific medications, drugs and solutions, use of adjunctive ventilation devices, trauma care and other authorized techniques and procedures. This level of care (quantity and type of staff member(s), equipment, and procedures) is consistent with a patient in a pre-hospital emergency or non-emergency incident. In addition, this level of care (quantity and type of staff member(s), equipment and procedures) is consistent with a patient in an inter-hospital incident who is in a non-acute situation and is being cared for in an environment where monitoring of cardiac rhythm, neurological status, and/or continuous infusions of anti-arrhythmic and/or vasopressors, are part of the patient's care needs.
