PHTLS: Prehospital Trauma Life Support
PHTLS: Prehospital Trauma Life Support, Eighth Edition is the premier
and proven global prehospital trauma education program from NAEMT. For
three decades, PHTLS has improved the quality of trauma patient care and
has saved lives. The eighth edition of PHTLS continues the PHTLS
mission to promote excellence in trauma patient management by all
providers involved in the delivery of prehospital care through global
education. This legendary program was first developed by the National
Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT) in the early 1980s
in cooperation with the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma
(ACS-COT). Its medical content is continuously revised and updated to
reflect current, state-of-the-art knowledge and practice. PHTLS promotes
critical thinking as the foundation for providing quality care. It is
based on the belief that EMS practitioners make the best decisions on
behalf of their patients when given a good foundation of knowledge and
key principles. The eighth edition of PHTLS features a new chapter,
Physiology of Life and Death. This chapter creates a solid understanding
of the physiology of life and pathophysiology that can lead to death.
This understanding is essential for the prehospital care provider if
abnormalities are to be found and addressed quickly in the trauma
patient. Clear Approach to Assessing a Trauma Patient In the field,
seconds count. PHTLS 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
minimizing any delays in initiating transport to an appropriate
destination. Dynamic Technology Solutions World-class content joins
