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.

FAST Background: Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST) is an integral adjunct to primary survey in trauma patients (1-4) and is incorporated into Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) algorithms (4). A collection of four discrete ultrasound probe examinations (pericardial sac, hepatorenal fossa (Morison’s pouch), splenorenal fossa, and pelvis/pouch of Douglas), it has been shown to be highly sensitive for detection of as little as 100cm3 of intraabdominal fluid (4,5), with a sensitivity quoted between 60-98%, specificity of 84-98%, and negative predictive value of 97-99% (3).
