ATLS is the standard of care identified by the American College of Surgeons (ACS) for physicians who intervene with trauma victims at all levels of clinical practice. ATLS utilizes a systematic, concise methodology for assessment and initial stabilization of the multiple-injured trauma patient. Lectures and interactive practicum address initial assessment, airway and ventilation, shock, thoracic trauma, abdominal trauma, head trauma, spine and spinal cord trauma, musculoskeletal trauma, burn and cold injuries, trauma of pediatric, geriatric, and obstetric patients, and transfer considerations. ATLS courses are presented in conjunction with the ACS Ohio Committee on Trauma.
