Ultra-Time Critical = BLS Clinical ConditionUltra-time critical treatment BLS or ALS Cardiac arrestCompressions and defibrillation BLS Severe traumaHemorrhage control, reduction of fracture, rapid transport, chest decompression BLS (save for chest decompression today) AnaphylaxisIM EpinephrineBLS AsthmaInhaled beta agonist, IM Epinephrine BLS

ALS Response Times that Matter? Severe respiratory distress CPAP (can’t this be BLS?) IV medications for treatment Advanced airway management Chest pain/STEMI Dysrhythmia treatment EKG interpretation Cardiac arrest management Severe respiratory distress CPAP (can’t this be BLS?)
