The PTT Protocol will bring prehospital teamwork to an all-new level.

WHAT IS  PTT?

PTT – Prehospital Trauma Team

Prehospital Trauma Team (PTT) is a structural protocol that guarantees efficient time management and detailed, high-quality care for prehospital trauma patients. Predefined roles both at scene and in the ambulance reduce paramedics' workload and improve teamwork.

The protocol consists of four phases:

  • 1
    Preparation. All responders tune their mindset to the use of the protocol.
  • 2
    At scene. Obtain the patient's preliminary status, perform life-saving interventions and prepare the ambulance for further assessment and treatment.
  • 3
    In the ambulance. Assess and treat the patient according to the predefined roles.
  • 4

    Debriefing. Review and reinforce the methods and practices used during the mission.

On this website you will find out how to learn and implement the protocol in your own workplace.
Our goal is to see PTT used across the nation and we want to offer the original PTT Flashcards for free. Click the link below, fill in your contact details and download the flashcards!
