Trauma Life Support (ATLS)

Trauma Life Support, specifically Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS), is a systematic approach used by medical professionals to quickly assess and treat patients with serious injuries. It ensures that critical issues like airway, breathing, circulation, and bleeding are addressed first to stabilize the patient. The goal is to identify life-threatening problems early and prioritize interventions to improve outcomes. ATLS focuses on a structured, step-by-step process that can be applied in emergency settings, helping providers deliver effective, timely care to trauma victims until they can receive definitive treatment.
