September 9th – 15th, 2013

Welcome to the 2nd Annual New Mexico Fire & EMS Expo, a combination of the State Fire Marshal’s 58th Annual Fire School, the New Mexico EMT Association’s Annual Conference and the New Mexico Chapter of the International Association of Arson Investigators’ training symposium. This year we also honor the 25th anniversary of the New Mexico Firefighters Training Academy.

While last year’s special theme event was the “C.L.U.S.T.E.R.”, this year we bring you “The Blast”; training for safe and effective response to terrorist bombing incidents. A full day of training, including bomb demonstrations, will be provided by New Mexico Tech’s nationally renowned Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center. For seven days emergency responders will be able to select from the most comprehensive offering of fire, rescue and emergency medical courses in the state of New Mexico, including extensive opportunities for hands-on training.

Help us salute our fallen firefighters at the 911 ceremony and honor this year’s annual award recipients during the opening ceremony and the awards banquet. We have also enhanced our social events, skills competitions and vendor displays to provide a unique opportunity to learn, network, compete and dine with your fellow first responders. We hope you enjoy your experience this week and return home better prepared to serve your communities.

We limit their access to dangerous or harmful items around the house, but we may overlook things. Over the counter prescription drug abuse and overdose has been on the rise for over ten years. In fact, NSAIDs are the third most commonly intentionally overdosed medicine, and other OTC s are responsible for a number of hospital visits and admissions. Join James as he reviews the reasons for overdoses, symptoms, side effects, and treatments for pediatric over the counter medication toxicities during a case-based approach. (1.5 hrs. Special Considerations – Pediatric) 513 Mass Casualty Readiness – William A. Boehm, M.D., FACEP So you think you are ready for the “big one”.

This ever-growing population demographic has already made an impact on the delivery of fire and EMS services throughout the nation and will continue to place great demands on our pre-hospital healthcare system. This session will provide attendees with an overview of the impact, preparatory steps that can be taken to help ease the burden, and provide suggestions for geriatric wellness and safety programs. (1.5 hrs. Special Considerations – Geriatric CEs) 613 Pharmacology for First Responders (National EMFR) and EMT-Basics (EMT National)- Cynthia Osborne, NREMT-P, NMSU-A A Hands-on exposure to medications in the New Mexico Scope of Practice, with emphasis on concentration, routes and review of actions.

(1.5 hrs. Preparatory CE’s) 619 Faking it for Real – Simulation Use Training - Doug Gadomski, NREMT-P, UNM Batcave So you have a new “fancy” human simulator….what now? How do you keep it from just being an expensive rhythm generator (or worse, collecting dust in the closet?) How can you effectively incorporate its use into your educational program? Do you really need to spend $65K on that latest model or is there another option? We’ll look at simulation as a teaching methodology, differences in fidelity, and offer ideas about use of simulation in EMS Education. (1.5 hrs.

17

702 Pediatric Airway – Doug Gadomski, NREMT-P, UNM EMSA Description: What is it that gives us so much apprehension when it comes to managing kids’ aiways? Recent studies have produced some surprising results regarding what we perceive as the “Gold Standard” for airways.

Discussion will also be on different levels and types of head Injuries. (1.5 hrs. Trauma CEs) 707 Assessing Your Pediatric Patient - Doug Gadomski, NMEMT-P, UNM EMSA Description: Why do so many of us struggle with assessing kids? Is it our own children we suddenly see before us or the fact that such a small percentage of our runs involve critically ill/injured children? We can’t deny the emotional aspect of treating this patient population, but with an understanding of what makes them different and a few tips to help us along the way we can get past our own fears and a few pitfalls to provide optimum

care in the field! (1.5 hrs. Special Considerations – Pediatric)

708 Chest Trauma – Bob Grothe This Chest Trauma lecture will cover mechanism of injuries, injuries to suspect based on mechanism, and treatments based on injuries. (1.5 hrs. Trauma CE’s)

709 I’m safe; Are They? - James Williams From the first day that an individual begins a career in EMS, scene safety and the safety of themselves and their crew is hammered into their heads and seared upon their brains. Ask any EMS student their first actions on a scene, and they will normally answer “Is the scene safe?” However, how much thought or consideration is put into patient safety? Is patient safety as automatic as the EMT asking is the scene safe? This session will discuss several areas where pre-hospital providers can enhance and ensure that the patients they are caring for are safe, and reach the hospital in no worse a condition than what they were on the initial assessment. (1.5 hrs. Operations CE’s) 710 Patient Assessment-Trauma- Cynthia Osborne, NREMT-P, NMSU-A A blind choice of tools. Your team will create a trauma emergency. Another team will respond to your emergency. Hands-on, fast-moving, challenging, and fun. (1.5 hrs. Patient Assessment CE’s) 712 Pediatric Pitfalls – Chad Kim Join Chad as he steers the audience down seemingly simple complaints and misuse of equipment which can have catastrophic outcomes if not recognized. Chad's interactive case studies always captivate the audience, while providing a great educational opportunity. (1.5hrs. Pediatrics) 713 More Than Just a Nosebleed -- James Williams Epitaxis is a frequent cause of bleeding seen in the pre-hospital setting and emergency department. Most of the time, this bleeding is self-limiting. However, on occasion the medical professional may encounter epitaxis which may be life-threatening. This session will discuss what causes nosebleeds and their treatments. (1.5 hrs. Medical CEs) 714 Burns – Native Air Discussion will focus around the different types of burns, anatomical and physiological changes to the skin with each type of burn. We will discuss “critical burns”, treatment of each type of burn and discussion around inhalation burns with treatment to early airway securing and patency. We will also discuss rule of nines and fluid management.

Incident Response to Terrorist Bombings

and PRSBI

This class is the central focus of the week and is sure to be a hit. This class is a three-part class and will last most of the day. Everyone is expected to attend.

will attend a 2-hr. presentation of “Incident Response to Terrorist Bombings.” Upon completion of the classroom portion, we will travel to their range facilities where EMRTC Staff will demonstrate various

explosive devices, i.e., letter bomb, briefcase bomb, and a car bomb. Note: for the range portion of this class, you are not allowed to bring your cell phones! Absolutely No cameras,

transmitting devices, or guns!

After the demonstration, we will return to Macey Center where you will have 1.5 hrs. for lunch. The New Mexico Tech Campus Cafeteria provides a wide variety of foods, buffet style, along with an

assortment of desserts and drinks. Cost for this lunch is $7.00. Your only other option is the New Mexico Tech Golf Course Club House, located approximately two blocks away, where for around $10.00 you can

have your choice of a typical Golf Course Cafe menu.

With lunch completed, we will return to the classroom where EMRTC Instructors will present "Prevention of and Response to Suicide Bomb Incidents.” Upon conclusion of the class, the busses will bring us back to the Fire Academy. You will, by mail, receive DHS Bomb Training Certifications for these

classes.
