Advanced Trauma Life Support Course (ATLS) is a training program based on guidelines established by the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma (ACS COT). The ATLS Course is in its Tenth Edition, developed by the Subcommittee on ATLS and The ACS COT. The ATLS® Student Course presents a concise approach to assessing and managing multiple injured patients. The course presents doctors with knowledge and techniques that are comprehensive and easily adapted to fit their needs. The skills described in the manual represent one safe way to perform each technique, and the American College of Surgeons (ACS) recognizes that there are other acceptable approaches. However, the knowledge and skills taught in the course are easily adapted to all venues for the care of patients.
