Introduction To ATLS
This document provides an overview of the objectives, basic knowledge, and procedures involved in Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS). It describes the primary and secondary survey process used to rapidly assess and stabilize trauma patients. The primary survey focuses on the ABCDE approach to address life-threatening airway, breathing, circulation, disability, and exposure issues before conducting a full examination. Procedures like intubation, chest tube insertion, and hemorrhage control are described. The secondary survey involves a full history and physical exam to identify and treat all injuries.
