EMS Education, Inc. - Emergency Services - Basic Trauma Life Support

International Trauma Life Support (formily BTLS)

This 20 hour course is designed for EMT’s and paramedics who must initially evaluate and stabilize trauma patients. The primary objectives of the course are to teach the correct sequence of evaluation of the trauma patient, techniques of resuscitation, and packaging of the patient. It also stresses those conditions that cannot be stabilized in the field and thus require rapid transport.

This course consists of didactic, practical skill stations, and testing (both written and practical). Some of the topics covered in the didactic portions are:

Patient Assessment
Airway Management
Spine Management Skills
Extremity Trauma Skills

Successful completion of this course will result in 16 hours of continuing education and a 3 year certification as a BTLS Provider.
