11:30 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.

The Pros and Cons of Home DefibrillationMickey S. Eisenberg, MD, PhD, Medical Program Director, King County Emergency Medical Services, Seattle, WAThis presentation will address the potential role and limita-tions of home defibrillation in the management of out of hospital cardiac arrest. Survival from out of hospital cardiac arrest remains abysmally low. Since 75% of all cardiac arrests happen in the home setting, it seems logical to disperse home defibrillators for persons at high risk of cardiac arrest. Such a proposal, though elegantly simple in its approach, is fraught with challenges. This presentation will discuss the logic behind home defibrillation as well as the challenges, including FDA regulation, cost, identification of high-risk persons and training issues.

The Antidote to Evidence-Based MedicineAnthony Handley, MD, FRCP, Resuscitation Council (UK), Colchester, United KingdomWe have heard a lot about evidence-based medicine in the development of guidelines for resuscitation. Clearly it is important to base these guidelines on available science but some so-called science, can be shown to have weaknesses. It is therefore impor-tant to look critically at the published papers and the ways in which the evidence has been evaluated. This presentation will do just that, sometimes in a less-than-reverent manner, with the aim of encouraging a critical approach to the new consensus on science and treatment recommendations to be published in November 2005.

Hyperventilation-Induced Hypotension During CPRTom P. Aufderheide, MD, Professor of Emergency Medicine, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI; Keith G. Lurie, MD, Professor of Emergency Medicine, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MNA recent clinical observation study revealed that professional rescuers consistently hyperventilated patients during out-of-hospital CPR. Subsequent hemodynamic and survival studies in pigs demonstrated that excessive ventilation rates during CPR significantly decreased coronary perfusion pressures and survival rates. The speakers will discuss their study results and publica-tion and their conclusions that CPR quality directly affects survival from cardiac arrest, and, in particular, that hyperventilation during CPR can reduce that survival. These findings also have significant implications for CPR guidelines, education, clinical practice, the development of future CPR devices and EMS quality assurance.

� CONCURRENT SESSIONS 1. The Effectiveness of CPR Self-Instruction to Train

Lay Rescuers in the CommunityBonnie Lynch, PhD, Research Corporation, SUNY Stony Brook and University of Texas Southwestern, Dallas, TX; Eric Einspruch, PhD, Research Corporation, SUNY Stony Brook and University of Texas Southwestern, Dallas, TX; Ed Stapleton, EMT-P, President of CCPRF, Assistant Professor of Clinical Emergency Medicine and Director of Pre-Hospital Education, SUNY Stony Brook Department of Emergency Medicine Stony Brook, NY; Ahamed Idris, MD, RMC, Research Corporation, SUNY Stony Brook and University of Texas Southwestern, Dallas, TXThe American Heart Association presently trains approximately 2.5 million lay rescuers each year (less than 1% of the U.S. popu-lation), but has a goal to train 20 million lay rescuers per year by the year 2010. The current strategy, using instructor-facilitated classroom training, is not likely to achieve this critical and ambi-tious goal. Self-instruction represents an innovative method that could be used to train millions of lay rescuers in the skills of CPR in a variety of settings. This program will present the results of studies that evaluated the effectiveness of a 30 minute CPR self-instruction program compared to a traditional CPR course. The speaker will discuss implementation strategies to introduce short CPR self-instruction programs in the community.

2. Emergency Response: Preparing for the UnexpectedRichard A. Bissell, PhD, Professor, University of Maryland, Avilton, MD; Donald J. Gordon, PhD, MD, Professor, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, San Antonio, TX; David Markenson, MD, FAAP, EMT-P, Director, Program for Pediatric Preparedness, Mailman School of Public Health, Columbia University, New York, NY; Debra G. Perina, MD, Associate Professor, Department of Emergency Medicine, University of Virginia, Ruckersville, VA; Peter T. Pons, MD, Physician, Emergency Department, Denver Health Medical Center, Professor of Emergency Medicine, University of Colorado, Denver, CODisastrous events of the last several years have sorely tested our country’s emergency preparedness systems. Electrical outages, deadly storms, tragic airplane and automobile crashes and ter-rorist attacks have reminded us that we live in an unpredictable and potentially dangerous environment. There is an “all hazards” approach that we can employ to deal with medical emergencies, natural disasters or acts of terrorism to prepare our communities for catastrophic events. This session will present some of those strategies that will help us to integrate our systems and engage our communities to enhance our preparedness.

� SCIENTIFIC SESSIONS 2:15 p.m. – 2:30 p.m.

A. Prevalence of Automated External Defibrillators at Cardiac High-Risk Sites

Linda Becker, Cardiac Arrest Surveillance Systems, Seattle, WAWe will present the results of a telephone survey to identify the prevalence of AEDs in public sites with high risk for car-diac arrest. Prior to the study, little was known about their actual distribution. AEDs located among high-risk sites have the potential to reduce the number of deaths from cardiac arrest if they are linked with lay rescuer education programs.

2:30 p.m. – 2:45 p.m.

B. BLS Infant Airway Management – A New Approach

Adam Reading, Kewanee Hospital, Galva, IL The speaker will present the results of a 24-month experi-ment using a modified technique of BLS Infant Airway Management. The efficacy of traditional infant Airway Management vs. a new method of opening the airway will be discussed. Results suggest that a modified/alternate approach to Infant BLS airway management education should be considered for adoption.

2:45 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.

C. Teaching High School Students CPR and AED Skills: A Comparison of Instructional Methods

Sheri Reder, PhD, MSPH, Center for Health Education & Research, Seattle, WA The session will include a short lecture, accompanied by computer graphics, on the study design and findings. There will also be an opportunity for participants to try the instruc-tional CD used in the study, and participate in a discussion about study implications and next steps.

3:00 p.m. – 3:15 p.m.

D. Is Shock Efficacy the Most Important Consideration in Selecting a Defibrillator?

David Snyder, Philips Medical Systems, Seattle, WA Aspects of automated external defibrillator (AED) perfor-mance are discussed as they relate to patient survival. When viewed as part of an overall resuscitation attempt, it becomes clear that other aspects of AED performance may have a greater influence on survival than efficacy of the defibrillation shock.

E. Locations of Cardiac Arrest: Affirmation for Community Public Access Defibrillation (PAD) Programs

James Fedoruk, BA, LL.B, MD, City of Windsor Fire and Rescue Services, Ontario, Canada; Wayne Currie, City of Windsor Fire and Rescue Service, Ontario, CanadaThe results of a study to identify public locations and frequencies of cardiac arrest will be presented. Arrests were grouped into five categories, the number of public venues were determined. Location arrest frequencies, with their annual incidences were determined. These findings have implications to strengthen/improve responses to cardiac arrests.

4:00 p.m. – 4:15 p.m.

F. Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) Course: A Dutch Experience of Multiprofessional Education in Advanced Life Support

Jos Draaisma, MD, PhD, Dutch Foundation for the Emergency Medical Care of Children, The Netherlands; Nigel Turner, Dutch Foundation for the Emergency Medical Care of Children, The NetherlandsOn completion of the PALS course the candidates are assessed using three standardized tests. There was no difference in the proportion of nurses and physicians who passed the practical tests. However, there was a difference in the MCQ-score at the end of the course, without a difference at the start.

4:15 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.

G. Decoding The Code Process: A Hospital’s Approach to the Chain of Survival

Matthew Benjamin, Life Support Training and Emergency Preparedness, Jackson, NJThis presentation portrays one healthcare institution’s approach to the Chain of Survival and how they analyzed their patient resuscitation process that ultimately improved code team response times, patient survival rates, and the realization of finan-cial benefits.

4:30 p.m. – 4:45 p.m.

H. Interest and Familiarity of Cardiac Patients in Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) for Home Use

Jeanette Previdi, RN, MPH, Pascack Valley Hospital, Westwood, NJ The results of a study to assess whether or not cardiac patients are familiar with AEDs and their value in saving lives and if they would be interested in purchasing or leasing one for use at home will be presented. Limitations of the study and implications for future studies will also be discussed.

Critical Steps in Pre-Hospital and Emergency Stroke Care: Minimizing Delays in Effective TherapyTodd Crocco, MD, Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine, West Virginia University, Morgantown, WVThis presentation will provide a discussion of the “7 D’s” of ACLS Stroke Care. These “D’s” remind rescuers of important steps in pre-hospital and emergency care, emphasizing times when delays may occur in stroke care. The speaker will present practical approaches for pre-hospital care systems and emergency depart-ments to improve delivery and avoid delays in acute stroke care.

9:00 a.m. – 9:45 a.m.

The Changing Face of Cardiac Arrest: Past Progress and Future ChallengesThomas Rea, MD, MPH, Epidemiologist-Physician, Public Health, Seattle & King County, Seattle, WAOut of hospital cardiac arrest is a significant public health prob-lem. The current challenge of cardiac arrest reflects evolving developments of risk, resuscitation, and long-term outcomes. The optimal approach requires an understanding that incorporates each of these aspects of cardiac arrest. The report will review temporal developments in risk, resuscitation, and long-term outcomes of cardiac arrest with a focus on cardiac arrest resusci-tation.
