PHTLS (Prehospital Trauma Life Support)

Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) is a training program designed for emergency medical responders to provide effective care to trauma patients before they reach a hospital. It focuses on prioritizing critical injuries, ensuring airway management, controlling bleeding, and assessing the patient's condition quickly and accurately. PHTLS emphasizes team coordination and the use of appropriate medical techniques to stabilize patients during transport. The goal is to improve survival rates and outcomes for trauma victims by delivering timely and efficient care in emergency situations.
