INTRODUCTION:
• TRAUMA, a Greek word meaning :- a wound, currently defined as a mechanical injury to tissues by an external physical cause.
• R Adams Cowley, Professor Of Thoracic Surgery “Father Of Trauma Medicine”.
• Advanced Trauma Life Support is a training program for medical providers in the management of acute trauma cases, developed by the American College of Surgeons.

HISTORY OF ATLS
• ATLS has its origins in the United States in 1976, James K. Styner, an orthopedic surgeon.
• Styner and his colleague Paul 'Skip' Collicott, with assistance from advanced cardiac life support personnel and the Lincoln Medical Education Foundation, produced the initial ATLS course which was held in 1978. In 1980, the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma adopted ATLS and began US and international dissemination of the course.

PREPARATION
• An effective trauma system needs the teamwork of EMS, emergency medicine, trauma surgery, and subspecialists.
A) Pre-hospital phase• Receiving hospital is notified first.• Send to the closest, appropriate facility. B) In Hospital Phase• Advanced planning for the trauma pt. arrival.• Method to summon extra medical assistance. • Transfer agreement with verified trauma center established.
![Page 5: MANAGEMENT OF TRAUMA UNDER ATLS PROTOCOL](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062401/58ed1a031a28ab8e208b4683/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Development of pre-hospital Emergency Medical Services (EMS) with three purposes:
Get to the patient quickly. Fix what we can fix . Quickly get the patient to the right hospital.

GOLDEN HOUR
• The "Golden Hour" concept, the period of 60 minutes or less following injury when immediate definitive care is crucial to a trauma patient's survival.

Airway Management in C-spine Injury
• To secure the airway with direct laryngoscopy, manual in-line stabilization (MILS) of the neck is the standard care of these patients in the acute stage.• MILS is best accomplished by
having two operators in addition to the physician who is actually managing the airway.
