Description

American College of Surgeons (ACS) Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) course, hosted by Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs COURSE DESCRIPTION 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 was first introduced in the US and abroad in 1980. Its courses 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 optimum care is provided throughout the process. If you don’t treat trauma patients frequently, an ATLS course provides an easy method to remember for evaluation and treatment of a trauma victim. COURSE OBJECTIVES Assess the patient's condition rapidly and accurately Resuscitate and stabilize the patient according to priorityDetermine if the patient's needs exceed a facility's capabilitiesArrange appropriately for the patient's definitive careEnsure that optimum care is providedTARGET AUDIENCE Recommended for licensed physicians, surgeons, and advanced practice health care providers.
