This course is dedicated to arming first responders with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively manage traumatic injuries in prehospital settings. The core objective of the PHTLS course is to enhance patient outcomes and diminish mortality in trauma cases.

Patient Stabilization: The course covers techniques for managing airway, breathing, and circulation issues, along with providing interventions for shock and hemorrhage control. Hands-On Skills: PHTLS emphasizes hands-on training, enabling participants to practice and refine their skills in a simulated environment. This includes techniques like immobilization, wound management, and spinal stabilization. Multidisciplinary Approach: The course fosters effective communication and teamwork among various healthcare providers, ensuring seamless patient care from the incident scene to the hospital. Adaptability: PHTLS equips responders to adapt their trauma management skills to various situations, from car accidents and falls to gunshot wounds and explosions. Over three decades ago, PHTLS: Prehospital Trauma Life Support transformed the assessment and management of trauma patients in the field, improving the quality of trauma patient care and saving lives around the world. The tenth edition of this trusted, comprehensive resource continues the PHTLS mission to promote excellence in trauma patient management by all prehospital care practitioners through global education. Completion of the NAEMT PHTLS course empowers participants with a comprehensive grasp of trauma care principles and the confidence to apply them in the field. This valuable training ultimately results in improved patient outcomes, reduced morbidity, and a higher standard of prehospital trauma care. In turn, this leads to a greater likelihood of survival and improved quality of life for those impacted by traumatic injuries.
