ATLS - Advanced Trauma Life Support (ACS)

ATLS (Advanced Trauma Life Support) is a course developed and accredited by the American College of Surgeons, currently implemented in more than 60 countries worldwide, including Eastern and Western Europe, Asia, and Africa.

Due to its simple, systematic approach, the training course represents the safest and most reliable concept for the emergency care of injured patients.

After completing the course, the practicing physician possesses the basic and essential knowledge to:

• Assess the condition of an injured patient quickly and accurately;

• Perform resuscitation and stabilization of the patient, taking priorities into account;

• Determine situations when the patient's injuries and severity of condition exceed the resources and capabilities of the medical facility/physician;

• Organize the patient's inter- or intrahospital transport;

• Ensure continuous patient management until their transfer to the definitive care location.

The ATLS course lasts 3 days and includes rapid initial assessment of the injured patient, life-saving emergency interventions, reassessment, stabilization, and, when necessary, determining the need for patient referral/transport.

The course consists of a pretest and a final test, core lectures, interactive scenario discussions, debates, practical sessions to develop surgical skills, and a final assessment of course mastery.
