FAQ’s

Falck’s ALS services are accessed by calling 911 during a medical emergency. Local emergency dispatchers determine the level of care needed and will deploy a Falck ALS unit when advanced medical support is required.
What is Advanced Life Support (ALS)?
Advanced Life Support (ALS) is a higher level of emergency medical care provided by specially trained paramedics. It includes advanced airway management, cardiac monitoring, IV therapy, and medication administration during life-threatening emergencies.
Who provides ALS care at Falck?
Falck ALS units are staffed by licensed paramedics with advanced clinical training and field experience. They work under medical direction to deliver high-quality, life-saving interventions on scene and en route to the hospital.

ALS is dispatched for serious medical emergencies such as cardiac arrest, respiratory failure, stroke, seizures, or trauma. Dispatch decisions are made based on 911 call assessments and established medical protocols.

ALS providers deliver critical interventions faster—stabilizing patients before they reach the hospital. Early advanced care improves survival rates and recovery for time-sensitive conditions like heart attacks or severe trauma.
