	Training in advanced trauma life support: senior house officers should be trained before working in accident and ...
		Certification in advanced trauma life support should be a prerequisite for appointment to a post as a senior house officer in accident and emergency or be incorporated into accident department induction courses, as occurs in some units.
		In America, the birthplace of advanced trauma life support, the course is increasingly taught in the undergraduate curriculum.[11] It can be argued that this is too early to teach such skills and that the preregistration year is probably a better time.
		We believe that the principles of advanced trauma life support, along with those of advanced life support and advanced paediatric life support, should be introduced to undergraduates, perhaps as a generic resuscitation course.

	Advanced trauma life support training for ambulance crews
		Advanced Life Support (ALS) for ambulance officers is believed to have contributed to the reduced number of deaths from injury in countries where this service is available.
		Amongst these ambulance crews with Advanced Life Support (ALS) training are being promoted in LMIC as a strategy for improving outcomes for victims of trauma.
		In the absence of evidence of the effectiveness of advanced life support, strong argument could be made that it should not be promoted outside the context of a properly concealed and otherwise rigorously conducted randomised controlled trial.

	Trauma Surgery
		Trauma Surgery is a specialty dedicated to the care of the individual who has been injured, whatever the mechanism.
		The complexity in trauma surgery arises from the multi-system nature of traumatic injury: the key to excellent care is timely recognition of all injuries sustained and prioritization of those injuries to optimize patient care.
		The initial care of the trauma patient follows guidelines set forth in the Advanced Trauma Life Support course, established by the American College of Surgeons to improve outcomes of traumatically injured patients.

		Principles involved in the initial assessment of a patient with major trauma are those outlined by the American College of Surgeons (ACS) in their Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) guidelines or those of the Australasian College of Surgeons in the Early Management of Severe Trauma guidelines.
		The trauma team usually consists of specialists in intensive care (common in Australia, less common in the United States and may be a dual-certified surgeon), surgery, and emergency medicine.
		The history of trauma is gained from the patient, witnesses at the scene, attending ambulance staff, and knowledge of the mechanism of injury.

	Advanced trauma life support training for hospital staff
		Training in 'advanced trauma life support' (ATLS) is increasingly used in both rich and poor countries.
		One such trauma care model is advanced trauma life support (ATLS) training in hospitals, which is being promoted in LMICs as a strategy for improving outcomes for victims of trauma.
		There is no clear evidence that ATLS training (or similar) impacts on the outcome for victims of trauma, although there is some evidence that educational initiatives improve knowledge of what to do in emergency situations.
