Any unit that currently offers Intermediate Life Support services can also offer Pediatric Intermediate Life Support (PILS). In fact, it is expected that ILS units provide this level of service. No special authorizations are needed to render PILS. The only requirements are that ILS members be trained in PILS in an appropriate training course and that the necessary equipment be placed on ILS units. We strongly encourage all ILS agencies to offer PILS if not already doing so.
