Trauma Education

The Advanced Trauma Life Support program, or ATLS, is a trauma education system that has become the standard of care for initial management in emergent settings. Trauma is responsible for 10% of the world’s mortality, and comes at extensive cost, often with significant morbidity and rehabilitation1. ATLS provides an organized language and approach to the trauma patient that can be communicated globally and has been shown to significantly decrease mortality in the first hour post-admission2. It was originally designed for use in low resource settings after a devastating accident involving an orthopaedic surgeon’s family. The shortcomings in care that his family received spurred him to create an educational system that could be applied at any site.
