ADVANCED TRAUMA LIFE SUPPORT(ATLS)
2Box 6.6 ATLScourse
In the UK, ATLS courses are coordinated by the Royal College of Surgeons. The course is currently 2days long, and details of where and when courses are run can be obtained from the College (E p.629 for contact details). There is usually a long waiting list for places as this is a popular course; the cost for the 2- day course is around£900.
The ATLS principles provide a structured approach to managing complex trauma patients by identifying the life- threatening priorities and treating quickly. Bear in mind that many departments will have their own trauma protocols that may not align entirely with ATLS. Check with your local protocol about how trauma is best managed.
For those who are especially interested in trauma management after sitting the ATLS, then consider the European Trauma or ATACC (Anaesthesia Trauma and Critical Care) courses when you are more senior.
2Box 6.7 One on theoor and fourmore?
Hypovolaemia is the main cause of shock in trauma and the way to think about haemorrhage is that it can accumulate on the oor and in four other places (Table 6.2): ‘one on the oor and four more’

the person is responsive, able to take a breath before coughing, has a loud cough, gives a verbal response to questions, or cries, this indicates mild obstruction and coughing should be encouraged.

Thinking aboutdeath
$ Death is inevitable, even the best medicine can only delay it. As a junior doctor, you will have a vital role in supporting patients and their re­latives at the end of life. Getting it right can be challenging, but rewarding.
Prognostication in advanced disease This is fraught with di-
culty. There are no specic biochemical markers of death and disease tra­jectories vary greatly between individuals. It is important to establish your patient’s baseline understanding of their condition (and that of their loved ones) and how much they wish to know. Prognostication is not about destroying hope, but rather respecting your patient’s autonomy and al­lowing them to plan. You should avoid being specic, it can be helpful to describe prognosis as ‘days to weeks’, ‘weeks to months’, or ‘months to years’. For further guidance on breaking bad news see Ep. 24.
Talking about death Talking about death allows patients’ wishes to
be known and arrangements to be made. There is no ‘right time’ to talk about death, this is individual for the patient. It is usually best done in advance of the nal days, with someone who has built rapport with the patient and their relatives (Box 7.). However, patients who suddenly deteriorate or are admitted unexpectedly to hospital may not have had that opportunity. When deciding where to take a conversation with a patient, it can be helpful to establish your patient’s current thoughts and understanding about their condition. If there is a large gap between this and your own understanding, you may have to bridge this with multiple conversations over a longer period of time.
Your own emotions and experiences Though helping pa-
tients navigate challenges towards the end of life can be rewarding, it is normal to nd these conversations emotionally demanding. In a study from Cambridge, 23.% of medical students had experienced close be­reavement prior to the start of the course and between 3% and 22.5% experienced loss between years –5. reecting on your own experiences and emotions.
What matters to your patient? Patients approaching the end of
life should have the opportunity to develop a personalized care plan outlining their wishes regarding important issues such as:
• Current and future symptoms and their control
• Potential treatments (including resuscitation)
• Fears about dying
• Religious or cultural values
3
• Place of death
• Arrangements after death—would the patient like to be cremated?
Death aects us all, it is worth
