ITLS Training and Certification In Kerala

What Is ITLS Education

International Trauma Life Support (ITLS) is a global not-for-profit organization dedicated to preventing death and disability from trauma through education and emergency trauma care. Founded in 1985 as Basic Trauma Life Support International, ITLS adopted a new name in 2005 to better reflect its global role and impact.

Today, ITLS has more than 90 chapters and training centres in over 35 countries around the world. ITLS is the only prehospital trauma program endorsed by the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP).

ITLS Advanced is appropriate for advanced EMTs, paramedics, trauma nurses, physicians and other advanced EMS personnel. Hands-on stations include:

• Patient assessment and management
• Basic and advanced airway management
• Needle chest decompression and fluid resuscitation
• Spinal motion restriction — rapid extrication, short back board, helmet managment, log roll, and long back board/ scoop stretcher utilization
• Extremity immobilization and traction splint application

ITLS Basic and Advanced courses use the 7th edition ITLS for Emergency Care Providers (published October 2011) or the 6th edition ITLS for Prehospital Care Providers manual.

ITLS is accepted internationally as the standard training course for Prehospital trauma care. It’s used as state-of-the-art continuing education course — and as an essential curriculum in many paramedic, EMT and first-responder training programs.

ITLS courses combine classroom learning and hands-on skill stations. Scenario assessment stations enable you to put your learning to work in simulated trauma situations. ITLS courses are designed, managed and delivered by course directors, coordinators and instructors experienced in EMS, Prehospital care and the ITLS approach.


Each ITLS course includes a comprehensive manual sent to you in advance. The manual enhances your learning experience with in-depth content, photos and illustrations. ITLS manuals are written by trauma care experts and edited by the ITLS editorial board. After the course, you can turn to the manual as a valuable recap of what you’ve learned.

To be certified, a course must be taught by registered ITLS instructors under the sponsorship of ITLS International, an ITLS chapter, or an ITLS training centre. The course does not certify future performance nor does it confer license of any kind upon successful completion.

These comprehensive courses are designed for providers who are first to evaluate and stabilize the trauma patient. The courses provide complete training in the skills needed for rapid assessment, resuscitation, stabilization and transportation of trauma patients.
