Riassunto

Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS), 5th Edition, Military Version is a unique, continuing education program that directly addresses trauma issues in the prehospital environment. Following the publication cycle of ATLS (Advanced Trauma Life Support) by the Committee on Trauma of the American College of Surgeons, the PHTLS program is designed to enhance and increase knowledge and skill in delivering trauma care. The PHTLS textbook is the required book for the PHTLS course, and is also ideal for use as the trauma component of a paramedic course or as a general reference book on trauma assessment and management. Based on Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS), 5th Edition, this military version combines both basic and advanced trauma concepts and skills in one definitive resource and features an entirely new chapter on evidence-based guidelines for military medicine, developed by the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care. Instructor resources available; contact your sales representative for details.
