PHTLS® Course
Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) is designed to provide pre-hospital and emergency responders with a specific body of knowledge related to the pre-hospital assessment and care of the trauma victim. This is the first nationally recognized and standardized program for pre-hospital personnel, which focuses n the assessment and management of the trauma victim. The course is based upon the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) course for physicians, which is sponsored by the Committee on Trauma of the American College of Surgeons. More importantly, it follows the protocols for pre-hospital care of a trauma patient as developed by the Committee on Trauma.
