DefinitiveSURGICAL TRAUMA CARETM

CourseThe Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS®) Courseof the American College of Surgeons has had adramatic effect in improving outcome of patients bystandardising their resuscitation and initial assessment,and providing one safe simple way for the initial careof such patients. However, ATLS® makes very littleprovision for care beyond the “Golden Hour”, andoften the surgical care that the patient receives afterresuscitation is performed by those inexperiencedin the surgical management of the trauma patient.

“Standard” general surgical training received in themanagement of trauma is often deficient, partly becausetraditional surgical training is more and more organspecific, concentrating on “superspecialties” such asvascular, hepatobiliary or endocrine surgery, andpartly because in most developed training programs,there is limited exposure to the range of injuredpatients.

It is not enough to be a good operator. The effectivepractitioner is part of a multidisciplinary team thatplans for, and is trained to provide, the essentialmedical and surgical response required in themanagement of the injured patient.

Planning the response requires an understanding of:• The causation of injuries produced in the local

population. An urban population with motorwayswill have a different spectrum of injury to anarmed inner-city population.

• The emergency, pre-hospital and emergency roomcare of the patient. The condition in which thepatient is delivered to the hospital and subsequentlyto the operating room will be determined by theemergency response, and in many respects willdetermine outcome.

• The resources, both physical and intellectual withinthe hospital, and the ability to anticipate the specificproblems associated with the patient with multipleinjuries.

The International Association for Trauma Surgeryand Intensive Care (IATSIC) is a founding componentof the Société International de Chirurgie (Interna-tional Society of Surgery) – ISS/SIC. Under thepatronage and supervision of IATSIC, the DefinitiveSurgical Trauma Care (DSTCTM) Course has beendeveloped for surgeons who may be faced with thedefinitive care of a patient with multiple injuries.

The DSTCTM Course is designed for surgeons andsurgical trainees, by surgeons. Many situations requirespecialist trauma surgical expertise, yet because oflocal conditions this is simply not available. Its intentionis not to duplicate ATLS®, nor to provide an in depthcourse in surgery, but rather to teach those techniquesparticularly applicable to the patient who requires surgeryand intensive care for major trauma, in a setting wheresuch care is not commonly practised or even necessarilyavailable. At the same time, Trauma Care is changingall the time, and this course also serves as an updateof knowledge and information in the field of Trauma Care.
