Extractions: It is a recognized precept that the term "accident" is a misnomer and that injuries are preventable. While the stated purpose of PHTLS is to provide the prehospital provider with the tools to enable effective trauma management to begin at the scene, PHTLS is also cognizant that prevention can be responsible to alleviate the burden of traumatic injury amongst the masses. As EMS providers, we may hold the most effective positions with which to place at the forefront of the preventative field. We have, after all, seen the consequences of traumatic injury. And whom better to educate those groups most afflicted by trauma, than the very people who serve to provide initial care. There are many ways that you can become involved in the prevention movement. We hope that this page will provide you with some of the tools that can help facilitate your interest in a particular area. Or at the very least, give you some ideas as to where to begin.
