Advanced Trauma Life Support for Nurses

Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) for nurses is a specialized training program designed to equip nurses with the skills to quickly assess and prioritize the care of trauma patients. It emphasizes systematic evaluation of airway, breathing, circulation, disability, and environment (the ABCDEs). The goal is to identify and manage life-threatening injuries immediately, ensuring patients receive prompt and effective treatment. This training enhances a nurse’s ability to respond confidently during emergencies, coordinate with the healthcare team, and improve patient outcomes in critical situations.
