What is ATLS® ?
The American College of Surgeons (ACS) and its Committee on Trauma (COT) has developed the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) Program for Doctors, a systematic, concise training to the early care of trauma patients. It will provide the participants with a safe, reliable method for immediate management of the injured patient and the basic knowledge necessary to :
- Assess the patient’s condition rapidly and accurately
- Resuscitate and stabilize the patient according to priority
- Determine if the patient’s needs exceed a facility’s capabilities
- Arrange appropriately for the patient’s interhospital transfer (what, who, when, and how)
- Assure that optimum care is provided
The development of the ACS ATLS Program within Switzerland is done by the ATLS® Switzerland Committee of the Swiss Surgical Society (SGC/SSC) in accordance with the guidelines given by the American College of Surgeons (ACS).
