Abstract

The Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) course was introduced in 1978 and is currently taught in more than 60 countries. It continues to be a widely accepted standard for the initial care of the trauma patient. Begun as a consensus view of recognized experts on safe initial management of a trauma patient, it combines didactic information with procedural skills, culminating with management of simulated patients. Evidence of its effectiveness includes ascertainment and retention of both knowledge and skills aswell as reduced morbidity and mortality after introduction of the ATLS program.
