CTLS Course is an initiative of ITACCS India, supported by ITACCS International based on WHO & ITACCS Guidelines, which commenced in 1991. While much can be done to prevent trauma through speed restriction, crash helmets, alcohol, seatbelt & child restraints, there will always be a need for a rapid, effective trauma assessment & management. Many patients can be saved or disability reduced if the definitive care initiation time can be minimized. This requires a trauma systems approach, which integrates all aspects of trauma care to achieve the best outcome.
