Duration and Format: An intensive two-day program combining interactive lectures, skill stations, and simulated patient scenarios.
Multidisciplinary Focus: Designed for the entire trauma team, including surgeons, emergency physicians, anaesthetists, and nursing staff, fostering inter-professional collaboration.
Standardized Protocol: Teaches a systematic, step-wise approach to trauma assessment (Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Surveys) based on IATSIC guidelines.
Practical Skill Stations: Hands-on training in essential procedures such as:
- Airway management and intubation.
- Chest decompression (needle and tube thoracostomy).
- Vascular access (including intraosseous access).
- Splinting and spinal immobilization.
Simulation and Scenarios: Includes mock trauma drills and case-based discussions to apply knowledge in real-time, high-pressure situations.

Course Director – Dr. Kamal Jayasuriya
Global Chair – Dr. Ranjith Ellawala

Upon successful completion of the NTMC, participants should be able to:

Demonstrate proficiency in performing the Primary Survey (ABCDE) to identify and immediately manage life-threatening conditions.
Recognize the physiology of trauma triage and prioritize patients based on the severity of their injuries.
Initiate appropriate resuscitation strategies for patients in hemorrhagic shock, including fluid therapy and the indications for blood transfusion.
Manage specific injury patterns, including thoracic, abdominal, and musculoskeletal trauma, using evidence-based interventions.
Safely perform critical procedures covered in the skill stations.
Interpret diagnostic findings (X-rays, FAST scans) to guide clinical decision-making.
Coordinate effectively as a team leader or member during a simulated trauma resuscitation.
Make appropriate decisions regarding the need for patient transfer to a higher level of care or tertiary referral center.
Apply principles of mass casualty management, particularly relevant for trainees in disaster management and military medicine.
Understand the role of the surgeon and the trauma team within a broader disaster response framework.
Execute effective communication and team leadership during simulated trauma resuscitations, fostering confidence in high-pressure situations.

Useful for sugeons, anaesthetists, trauma specialists, ETU / PCU doctors, ICU doctors and all doctors
