Definition

bull Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) is a training program for medical doctors in the management of acute trauma cases developed by the American College of Surgeons

bull Originally designed for emergency situations where only one doctor and one nurse are present ATLS is now widely accepted as the standard of care for initial assessment and treatment in trauma centers

Initial assessment and management 1 Preparation amp Triage2 Primary survey3 Resuscitation4 Adjuncts to primary survey and

Preparation amp Triage

bull Pre-hospital phase

Pre-hospital phase

bull Which is between the field officer with the doctor The main attention arendash maintenance of airwayndash control bleeding and shockndash immobilization of the patient ndash sending the patient to the nearest

hospitalndash Collect also a description of the incident

causes and history of the patient

bull The preparation of equipment and medical personel that are needed in the Hospital

Triage

bull The way the selection of patients based on treatment needs and available resources

bull Therapy is based on the needs of ABC

bull Used START method (Simple Treatment and Rapid Treatment)

START (Simple Treatment and Rapid START (Simple Treatment and Rapid Treatment)Treatment)

bull Airway Try to talk to the patient

bull Breath calculate the repiration rate

bull Circulation monitor blood pressure pulse or do capiler refill test (normal lt2 minutes)

Primary survey

bull A = Airway maintenance with cervical spine protection

bull B = Breathing and ventilationbull C = Circulation with hemorrhage

completelyndash undress the patientbut prevent

hypothermia

A = Airway maintenance with cervical spine protection

The first stage of the primary survey is to assess the airway

Airway Maintenance

Is the Victim is conscious or not

Conscious

Try to talk to the victims

Can the victim breath(look-listen-feel)

able to talk airway is clear (no obsrtruction)

YesNo

-Give artificial respiration-Give O2

NO

Airway is clear

Put Collar neck until we are sure that there is no servical fracture

Sign of Obstruction

bull Snoring gravity pulls the tongue and jaw down to the back of the mouth and limits the air passageway
