ECP 240 — Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support
The PHTLS program is a 16 hour national standard curriculum which attempts to increase each student’s understanding and skills in prehospital trauma management. This increased understanding of the kinematics, pathophysiology, systemic impact, and intervention techniques will result in improving the assessment and treatment of the multisystem trauma patient and offer a perspective to the patient’s individual needs that may exceed traditional treatment modalities.
