When I was working in the field, carry gear for Emergency Medical System professionals was centered on two key bags:
The ALS and BLS bag. The ALS bag, or Advanced Life Support bag, is exclusively for paramedics and EMT-Intermediates.
These are the bags the public is most accustomed to seeing in movies and shows.
They’re filled with a dizzying array of medications, IV equipment, and advanced airway management tools to treat complex medical ailments.
When it comes to treating traumatic injuries, EMS professionals reach for another bag: The BLS bag. The Basic Life Support bag is used by both paramedics and EMTs, and is filled with all of the basics for EMS professionals to treat a broad range of traumatic medical complaints.
They’re often filled with bandages, simple airway management tools, splints, oxygen, and other goodies.
Sometimes agencies will combine or divide the ALS and BLS bags to make hybrid bags, like an O2 bag, an airway bag, a spinal immobilization bag, etc. These hybrid bags are often created to fit a regional niche like dense urban environments, industrial neighborhoods, or repetitive 911 call types.
