摘要：
Over the last 30 years the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS (R)) course has become the most successful training program in the world for the early care of severely injured patients. It has shaped trauma care systems in many countries and is now on the verge of being introduced into Germany by the German Society of Trauma Surgery (DGU). However, after publication of the latest edition in 2004 there are rising concerns regarding the lack of multi-disciplinarity, out-dated contents and lack of adaptability to regional needs. This article questions the beneficial effect of ATLS (R) on the advanced German trauma care system and concludes that ATLS is not likely to improve trauma care in Germany.
