Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS)

Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) is a training program for emergency medical responders that teaches essential skills to assess and manage trauma patients before they reach a hospital. It focuses on quickly identifying life-threatening injuries, providing appropriate interventions, and stabilizing patients to improve their chances of survival. The course emphasizes a systematic approach, effective communication, and teamwork, ensuring responders can deliver evidence-based care in urgent situations. PHTLS aims to enhance the quality of prehospital trauma care, ultimately saving lives and reducing complications.
