UK PHTLS: Prehospital Trauma Life Support, Tenth Edition
)
For decades, PHTLS: Prehospital Trauma Life Support has transformed the assessment and management of trauma patients in the field. Throughout the years and across the globe, the PHTLS course has improved the quality of trauma patient care and has saved lives. This legendary programme was first developed by the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT) in the early 90s in cooperation with the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma (ACS-COT). The text has been revised and updated to reflect current, evidence-based knowledge and practice, and brings the established course in line with national guidance to reflect the paramedic role within the UK.
PHTLS promotes critical thinking as the foundation for providing quality care. It is based on the belief that prehospital clinicians make the best decisions on behalf of their patients when given a solid foundation of knowledge and key principles to fuel their critical-thinking skills.
A Clear Approach to Assessing a Trauma Patient
In the field, seconds count. UK PHTLS: Prehospital Trauma Life Support, Tenth Edition teaches and reinforces the principles of rapidly assessing a trauma patient using an orderly approach, immediately treating life-threatening problems as they are identified, and minimising any delays in initiating transport to an appropriate destination.
