APPENDIX E n ATLS and Trauma Team Resource Management
The vast majority of trauma teams work well
together and achieve positive outcomes for their
patients. When controversies do arise, they are dealt
with professionally and calmly, if possible away from
the patient being resuscitated. Much can be learned
from discussions about the challenges of managing
trauma victims. The more patients the team treats, the
more experienced the members become and the more
clearcut these situations are to address. Trauma team
members can prepare for their role by learning ATLS®
principles as well as the basics of performance within
the medical team.
SummARy
Where resources allow, the best management of a
trauma victim is by a trained trauma team with a
competent and skilled trauma team leader. ATLS®
principles are fundamental to the function of the
trauma team. All trauma team members should be
ATLS® providers with experience in the resuscitation
room. Trauma team leaders require specific skills and
competencies as well as considerable experience in the
delivery of trauma care according to ATLS® standards.
Trauma team members can prepare for their part in the
treatment of trauma and learn from their experiences
in different trauma teams.
