摘要
ATLS Courses were introduced in the USA in 1980 and have been taught in Italy since 1994. Through theoretical lessons and practical sessions, their scope is to provide proper training for doctors with every kind of speciality who work in Emergency Departments, in order to prepare them to rapidly and effectively intervene on a patient who has suffered a serious trauma. Universities, in fact, do not prepare doctors adequately on this topic, while the application of the ATLS method in the first hours after trauma can effectively improve the prognosis of the patient. This study collects the data of the Italian experience in ATLS training, which has been carried out under the aegis of the Italian Chapter of the American College of Surgeons. The ATLS Courses have become widespread throughout our Country, which today is the fourth in the world for number of courses held every year.
