THE NEED FOR A DEFINITIVE SURGICAL TRAUMA CARE COURSE

• Trauma is the leading cause of death in the first four decades of life
in developed countries.
• There are more than 5 million trauma-related deaths each year
worldwide.
• Motor vehicle crashes cause over 1 million deaths per year.
 DSTC

- Trauma continues to be a major public health problem, both in

the pre-hospital setting and within the hospital system.
- Surgeons responsible for the management of injured patients,
whether military or civilian, be skilled in the assessment,
diagnosis and operative management of life-threatening injuries
 DSTC
There is thus the increasing need to provide the surgical skills and
techniques necessary to resuscitate and manage these patients
surgically – the period after ATLS is complete.
