Abstract
According to World Health Organisation and centre for disease control more than 9 people die every minute from injuries or violence. Most of the death occurs due to road traffic accidents accounts for 1 million, with missed initial assessment around 8.1%-22% and with haemorrhage being missed around 30-40%9. This article reviews the literature regarding various treatment modalities of advance trauma life support while treating the road traffic victim from 1997-2018. Although ATLS has drawbacks, because of its simple principles it accepted all over the world for treating trauma victims on large scale. So the advance trauma life support should practice by the medical staff and students to decline the morality rates in road traffic accidents.
