ITLS Access teaches skills that are critical for EMS crews and first responders at the scene of a motor vehicle collision. The 8-hour course trains you in how to use hand tools and items found on the scene or carried on an ambulance or first responder unit, instead of hydraulics. In hands-on modules, you will learn how to reach, stabilize, and extricate trapped victims, with a special focus on patient care during extrication. Existing knowledge will be refreshed and new skills are learned and trained in extensive practical stations.
Didactic and skills:
- The Tools to Do the Job

- Call for Help and Set-Up
- Vehicle Stabilization
- Accessing
- Stabilizing the Victim
