ITLS Advanced Provider (Self)

The ITLS Advanced Course is an intense 2-days learning experience dealing with the recognition and management of trauma and trauma associated syndromes. The course aims to teach an innovative and structured approach in managing victims of trauma. The ITLS course builds on this knowledge, emphasizing evaluation steps and sequencing as well as techniques for resuscitating and packaging patients.

The Advanced Provider course material requires the ability to start intravenous fluids and to perform advanced airway management. Advanced airway management is defined as the use of a blind insertion airway device, or endotracheal tube. This limits the full course to advanced EMTs, paramedics, medical students, registered nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and physicians.
