ATLS – Advanced Trauma Life Support

The Advanced Trauma Life Support? (ATLS?) program can teach you a systematic, concise approach to the care of a trauma patient. ATLS was developed by the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Committee on Trauma (COT) and will provide you with a safe and reliable method for immediate management of injured patients.

The course teaches you how to assess a patient��s condition, resuscitate and stabilize him or her, and determine if his or her needs exceed a facility��s capacity. It also covers how to arrange for a patient��s inter-hospital transfer and assure that optimal care is provided throughout the process.
